OVEF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that invests in our region’s youngest learners. We believe that thriving young learners are tomorrow’s difference makers.  Our service area in North Central Kentucky ranges from Louisville to Frankfort and spans from Taylorsville Lake to the Ohio River. Contributions to OVEF help more children attend early childhood programs, more students overcome learning challenges, and more students prepare for great jobs.

Nerd Louisville is a 501(c)(3) that works at the center of an active and vibrant nerd community spread across the Louisville metro area. We support individuals and groups as they achieve their nerdy dreams, in doing so we weave together hobbyists, craftspeople, and interested others into a closer community. Nerd Louisville does this by creating engaging events and happenings that make it easier for people to connect, play games, and become friends.

Since our founding, Nerd Louisville has built a vibrant, interconnected community. We’ve organized engaging events like Friday Night Gaming and Young Questers, bringing together nerds of all ages. While our annual tabletop convention is taking a break this year, we’re excited to bring it back next year with a fresh new name! In addition, our charitable programs continue to inspire and support local youth, ensuring that the next generation of nerds is empowered through play and creativity.
