Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

  2023 · Film Documentary on Central High School's Street Law Program - The Central High School Law and Government Program has been a model "Street Law" program and has successfully educated hundreds of students about the role of law and inspired many to pursue legal careers. A grant from the LBF, along with charitable contributions from lawyers and law firms in Kentucky, will help fund a film documentary that celebrates the success of this program and shows why such programs are valuable in creating diversity in the legal profession. Kentucky to the World, a non-profit organization focused on elevating the success stores of people and programs in the Commonwealth, serves as the fiscal agent for this film production.
