give a gift


Whether you’re a business person concerned about recruitment and retention of world-class talent, a citizen tired of Kentucky too often getting a bad rap, a student wondering how to grab onto the dreams you have for the future, or someone who’s just not sure if Kentucky and Kentuckians have what it takes to compete on the world stage—this is your organization.

As a 501(c) organization, all of our programming and storytelling efforts are made possible through donations from people like you looking to change the narrative surrounding the Commonwealth. When you give to KTW, you also make an investment in inspiring future generations of Kentuckians.

Kentucky to the World provides an encompassing and fresh approach by painting a new portrait of the state. We have showcased Nobel prize-winning scientists like Phil Sharp and celebrated physicists like NASA’s Tracy Drain, to journalists like Pulitzer Prize-winning Dana Canedy and well-known media journalist Perry Bacon, Jr., to culinary artists like Food Network ‘s Damaris Phillips and Chef Nikkia Rhodes. And we’re just getting started!

Please consider giving a gift to support the artists, writers, thinkers, and game-changers who are dedicated to changing the narrative of Kentucky on the world stage.

When you contribute to KTW, you have the opportunity to change Kentucky’s recognition in the national conversation. The goal of the stories we share is to remind everyone why we all should have pride in Kentucky. 

We at KTW will continue working hard to bring you more great stories that  change the narrative of Kentucky. Take a look at everyone we’ve hosted in the past years here.
