A Look Back: CEO/President Elea Fox

First month is in the books!

February 26, 2025

What a wild start to 2025 I have had – from a winter storm to navigating the federal grant freeze, my first 30 days have definitely been memorable! During this time, I have also witnessed the incredible impact of the work our staff does with children and families. 

During my first 30 days, I have sat down with WLKY and WHAS to discuss our agency and the work we plan to do this year, had quality conversations with donors about how grateful I am for their generous support, met with partner agencies such as Kosair for Kids, and so much more. I’ve enjoyed having my calendar full!  

A quick introduction (in case we haven’t met already!): Before joining FCP, I was the Vice President of Philanthropy for UofL Health and previously served in successive leadership roles for the UofL Health – Brown Cancer Center, University of Louisville, de Paul School, Buffalo State University, and other organizations. 

I have worked in nonprofit organizations for over 20 years, including direct services, and I am passionate about our shared responsibility to serve, protect, and nurture children and families.  

The work our staff does at Family & Children’s Place is not possible without your support, and I hope you will consider continuing to invest in our mission. When I look at the 2024 Impact Report, I am in awe at the services each of our program staff provided to our clients and community.  

I am excited to see the work we accomplish over the next 30 days, six months, 12 months, and so on to continue creating happy, healthy children and families free from abuse. 

-Elea Fox, CEO/President
