Our Story

Unlike any other organization in the region, the LSC’s mission-centric work strategically connects and convenes diverse organizations and businesses with the shared goal of creating a more just and sustainable future for our Louisville community. By hosting education-based events and workshops, creating accessible resources, and funding sustainability-driven projects across the state, the LSC strives to catalyze and maximize our collective impact within the social, environmental and economic sustainability sectors.

In 2010, the Bingham Fellows cohort brought together 40 experienced Louisville leaders with diverse and unique voices to address the region’s most critical question: How do we position Louisville as a national leader in sustainability?

From years of research, development and community connection, the Louisville Sustainability Council (LSC) was born - giving collective voice to an equitable movement of sustainability in our community.
