Ways To Give

Invest in Louisville’s Future

When you give to Thrive By 5 Louisville, you’re helping build the foundation for every child’s success. Your gift powers initiatives that expand access, improve quality, and make child care more affordable across our city.

Whether you give once, monthly, in honor of a loved one, or through your workplace, every contribution creates real change.

One-Time or Monthly Donation

Make a secure one-time gift — or become a monthly donor and sustain our work year-round.

Monthly giving is the most effective way to support long-term change. Even $25 a month helps with early learning resources, educator training, and child care access.

  • $25 per month – Inspire a Child’s Imagination
    Provide educational toys, books, or art supplies to enrich a preschool classroom.
  • $50 per month – Fuel a Caregiver’s Growth
    Cover one hour of professional development or credentialing prep for a child care provider. A Child Development Associate (CDA) certification requires 120 hours of formal training in early childhood education.
  • $100 per month – Unlock Kindergarten Readiness
    Support early literacy and learning kits and toys that prepare children for success in school.
  • $250 per month – Empower an Educator
    Help an early learning teacher with computer access, fees, transportation, or other barriers that make it difficult to complete coursework for a Child Development Associate credential.
  • $500 per month – Expand Quality Care
    Fund improvements that upgrade classrooms and learning environments to meet quality standards.
  • $1,000 per month –  Support the Workforce Behind the Workforce
    Contribute to wage enhancements that recruit and retain skilled early childhood educators.

Give in Honor or Memory

Make a meaningful gift to celebrate or remember someone special. We’ll send a personalized message letting them (or their loved ones) know about your generous tribute.
