BIG NEWS!!! The Dam Good Improv Festival is proud to announce a partnership with the amazing non-profit, @nerdlouisville !!! A portion of all tickets sales proceeds will be going to support Nerd Louisville!! So let me say it first, Nerd Louisville Presents: The Dam Good Improv Festival!! Here is some info about them! About Nerd Louisville is a registered 501(c)3 charitable non-profit. Why Nerd Louisville? We established Nerd Louisville when we discovered that there was a vibrant and active community of people interested in all types of nerdy activities in Louisville, but that many of those people were scattered around the city in disparate groups. We wanted to change that, so we created Nerd Louisville to make it easier for nerds to connect and become friends. Nerd Louisville’s goal isn’t to supersede or absorb the already existing nerd groups in Louisville, but to create a platform that enables groups to connect with each other and grow organically. Since our inception, Nerd Louisville has fostered a strong and interconnected community, established a mini-convention (Nerdlouvia), and developed a charitable initiative (Next-gen Nerds) to support at-risk youth. In 2018, we hope to do even more, but we can’t do that alone, so we hope that you’ll help us. Our Mission Nerd Louisville’s mission is to make Louisville, Kentucky the most awesome nerd city in the universe. We do that by: Fostering a sense of community Providing a hub to connect local nerds Promoting Louisville as a nerd destination Educating, inspiring, and empowering local youth. Next-Gen Nerds Educating, Inspiring and Empowering Local Youth Nerd Louisville’s mission is to make Louisville, Kentucky the most awesome nerd city in the universe by fostering a sense of community, providing a hub to connect local nerds, and by promoting Louisville as a nerd destination. We also seek to educate, inspire, and empower local youth. In pursuit of our mission, we have created the Next-Gen Nerds initiative, an initiative focused around the youth in our community and helping to cultivate the next generation of nerds in and around Louisville.
