In 2025, the Lou Review fully incorporated the “Lou Review Foundation”, as a 501(c)(3) organization. The Lou Review Foundation leverages podcast storytelling, targeted advertising, strategic networking, and grants to give Louisville’s founders the visibility they need to elevate their missions and businesses- inspiring partnerships and lasting success. Still in our first year, the Foundation has installed its first board members. The Board is currently working on build out of its programming base, refining our strategic plan, and barreling forward so that we can provide Louisville’s small business founders with tools to promote and grow their customer base.
