Christina Brown with a $47 million gift to UofL, largest ever

This is huge, folks, another Brown family coming through for the University of Louisville.

Thanks to a mega-million gift from Christina Brown, the University of Louisville is creating a new campus in downtown Louisville to be known as the UofL Envirome Institute – New Vision of Health Campus, where study will focus on health as a shared community resource, incorporating environmental and cultural factors

Brown is providing $30 million over 20 years and is giving rent-free use of the buildings to the university, equating to a $17-million in-kind donation. In a special meeting earlier today, the UofL Board of Trustees approved a lease granting UofL use of the property, which is owned by Brown.
