THE PARTNERSHIP Announces First Recipients of Funding To Enhance West Louisville
LOUISVILLE, KY – April 3, 2025—The West End Opportunity Partnership (The Partnership) is pleased to announce it has selected its first two funding recipients: DELTA Foundation (Developing Educated Leaders Through Athletics) and Good Brothers Pharmacy.
After extensive internal reviews, The Partnership moved forward with DELTA Foundation and Good Brothers Pharmacy as they have met the funding eligibility criteria.
“The Partnership’s unwavering dedication to the development of West Louisville is driven by the community, and we remain committed to investing in organizations that share our mission,” said Laura Douglas, President and CEO of The Partnership. “We look forward to the positive impact this funding will have on both DELTA Foundation and Good Brothers Pharmacy and are excited for the lasting benefits it will bring to the residents of West Louisville.”
DELTA Foundation’s mission is to support at-risk students in achieving academic success through mentorship, tutoring, and sports engagement, which has an immeasurable impact on the community’s youth. This funding will expand the DELTA Foundation’s reach and resources, create new career opportunities, and enhance access to vital programs for West Louisville youth.
“The Delta Foundation is beyond grateful to receive this financial support from The Partnership. We recently purchased the old Portland Christian Campus located at 2508 Portland Ave, which allows for an additional ten non-profits on the campus that provide community resources and out-of-school education programming, in addition to the DELTA Foundation’s academic and athletic programming for at-risk youth,” said Wes Hinton, Founder/CEO of DELTA Foundation. “With these funds, the DELTA will be able to paint the interior and exterior and replace the tile flooring on the first floor of the main building. These upgrades will help create a safe and inviting campus of opportunity in the heart of West Louisville.”
Good Brothers Pharmacy will provide prescription medications to residents of West Louisville and serve as a community hub, delivering prescription medications and culturally competent healthcare close to home. With this funding, Good Brothers Pharmacy will be able to expand its offerings to include health and wellness resources to a community that is disproportionately impacted by a myriad of health conditions.
“We’re incredibly grateful to receive this funding from the West End Opportunity Partnership—it represents more than just financial support; it’s a powerful affirmation of our mission,” said DeShawn King, CEO of Good Brothers Pharmacy. “This investment will help us expand access to essential pharmacy services, promote health equity, and create a lasting impact in the West End. We thank The Partnership for believing in our vision and standing with us as we work to restore trust and improve healthcare outcomes in our community.”
The Partnership welcomes organizations to participate in this transformative initiative and help shape the future of West Louisville. For more information on how to apply for funding, please visit westendpartners.org or contact The Partnership at [email protected].
