Join us May 14, 2026 at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Louisville as we celebrate the 20th Year of the JFCS MOSAIC Awards with another outstanding cohort of honorees who are making our community better each day.
The JFCS MOSAIC honorees Immigrants, Refugees and First-Generation Americans who have come to this country and become Leaders, Changemakers, or Humanitarians in the greater Louisville community. The JFCS Corporate Changemaker Award honors a company who has gone above and beyond to support immigrants in Louisville.
Nominations are made each year by community members from across Louisville and selected by the JFCS MOSAIC Committee, to recognize someone who has overcome and persevered and made a difference to others around them.
Corporate Sponsorships still available. If your company would like to be part of this community-wide celebration, reach out to Courtney Evans at cevans@jfcslouisville.org.
“Our collective story of resilience and hard work can offer hope to others in our communities“
-Amos Izerimana, 2024 JFCS MOSAIC Honoree, Director at Louisville Metro’s Office of Immigrant Affairs
The JFCS MOSAIC Awards recognizes refugees and immigrants in Greater Louisville who have impacted their community. Since 2006, we have honored 95 refugees, immigrants, and first-generation Americans from 47 countries, who now call Louisville home and have made a difference in the community. The JFCS MOSAIC Awards celebrate the diversity and accomplishments of these individuals as they help build the City of Louisville and the Commonwealth of Kentucky into a brighter, more inclusive place. In 2024, a new award was created called the Corporate Changemaker Award to recognize a local business or company that has made a tangible impact in supporting immigrants and refugees and is creating positive change within our community.
JFCS was honored to celebrate the 2025 JFCS MOSAIC Awards wtih you! These incredible leaders, changemakers, and humanitarians from the immigrant, refugee, and first-generation American communities who have profoundly impacted Greater Louisville. These individuals were nominated by community members and selected through a rigorous selection process by the JFCS MOSAIC Committee. This year, we were proud to get a record number of nominations! Nominations are open to the public and open from September 1st to October 15th every year. Meet this year’s JFCS MOSAIC Honorees:
