The Greater Louisville Project is an independent, non-partisan, civic initiative organized by The Community Foundation of Louisville and supported by a consortium of philanthropic foundations. Its mission is to act as a catalyst for action, providing research, data, and analytic tools in support of the agenda for long-term progress outlined in the 2002 Brookings Institution Report, "Beyond Merger: A Competitive Vision for the Regional City of Louisville." Additional research identified "Deep Drivers of Change" designed to move Louisville into the top tier among its peer cities by 2010 in three key areas: Education, 21st Century Jobs and Quality of Place.
