Individual Giving

Every single gift matters, and any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated and put to good use. We depend on the generosity of our donors to sustain and build our programming. Our funding comes from a variety of sources, including government grants, private foundations, corporate sponsorships, and contributions from individuals and businesses in our community. Choose a one-time gift or join our growing list of generous monthly donors!


Corporate Sponsorships

A partnership with one of our events or programs would be a mutually beneficial collaboration that would strategically advance your business and philanthropic initiatives within the Lexington and Central Kentucky community.

Thank you for your consideration.

Fund the Future - Endowment

fund+the+future.jpg

We are excited to announce that we have opened an endowment fund to plan for our long term financial sustainability. Our endowment, held at Blue Grass Community Foundation, is a charitable fund that will help provide us with long term support. All gifts made to an endowment fund are locked in: the contributions are invested for long term growth and will be held in perpetuity. As long as The Nest is in existence, we can receive a check for 5% of the endowment every single year. Your contribution to the endowment can help sustain us today and long into the future.

Donations to our endowment fund can range from gifts of cash or check, to stocks or property. You can also name our endowment fund to receive a gift through your estate plans, life insurance, or retirement plans.

Thank you for your generosity which allows us to embrace, encourage, and empower without bias.
