Keeneland Foundation

Keeneland Foundation


The Keeneland Foundation provides grants once annually to Kentucky-based 501c organizations with our priority focus being organizations in Central Kentucky. Funding of the Keeneland Foundation is directly connected to proceeds received from the Keeneland/Cross Gate Gallery Sporting Art Auction and historically targets capital expansion and equipment purchases.

  • Grant requests will be accepted July 1 – December 31 and reviewed for consideration in the first quarter of the following year.
  • Grants will not be considered for requests from/for individuals, political entities, primary and secondary schools, youth sports leagues, fraternal veterans or organizations (unless the gift is in support of a recognized community project), and religious organizations for the exclusive benefit of one religious entity; or, for annual operating support.
  • For anything related to tickets or sponsorships for charitable tournaments, luncheons, dinners, etc., please see Keeneland Giving.
