More Than A Smile Foundation received $80,000+ in funding in 2025 — Here Is What That Means

In 2023, More Than A Smile Foundation raised $1,000.

In 2025, we raised $80,000+.

That is not a typo. And it is not luck. It is what happens when a community decides that immigrant and refugee families in Louisville deserve real investment — and when funders, donors, and partners step up to make it real.

Here is what those dollars made possible in 2025:

• Free break-time programming for 200+ youth through Beyond the Field
• A Back to School giveaway that reached hundreds of children with supplies, shoes, and backpacks
• The Annual International Cup — one of the largest immigrant and refugee youth sports events in the region
• Women & Family Empowerment workshops serving mothers and daughters across Louisville
• Smiles Beyond Borders programming connecting Louisville youth to peers in East Africa

Our funders in 2025 included Hello Neighbor, the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, Metro United Way, the Louisville Coalition for Immigrant Support, the Community Foundation of Louisville, Lithia 4 Kids, Delta Dental, Connected Nation, and the YMCA of Greater Louisville.

More Than A Smile Foundation is growing because the need is real and the results are measurable. We are not done. In 2026, we are building toward $150,000+ — enough to expand every program and reach more families than ever.
