Introducing Gear that Gives Back: A New Way to Support Kentucky to the World

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Gear that Gives BACK, the new Kentucky to the World gift shop created with one purpose in mind: giving our supporters a fresh, meaningful way to champion our mission.

This curated collection of apparel, accessories, and everyday favorites celebrates the spirit of Kentucky and the incredible stories of the people who shape it. But this shop is about so much more than great gear—it’s a new way for our community to come together in support of our mission.

Why “Gear that Gives BACK”?

For years, you’ve helped us bring Kentucky’s stories to audiences near and far. Now, with Gear that Gives Back, every purchase becomes another way to strengthen that mission—even beyond traditional giving.

Gear that Gives Back isn’t just merchandise. It’s mission fuel.

Every item in our shop does double duty:
✔️ You get something you’ll love—designed with care, inspired by Kentucky, and made to last.
✔️ We get to keep sharing stories that matter—stories of Kentuckians making an impact locally and globally.

When you choose to shop with us—and especially when you opt to pay slightly above retail—you directly invest in the programs, productions, and storytelling initiatives that amplify Kentucky’s impact on the world. Your support transforms simple gear into a powerful tool for outreach, education, and inspiration - it becomes a part of the greater mission!


What You’ll Find

From soft, timeless tees to conversation-starting accessories, we’ve built this collection around items that feel good, look good, and do good. Each piece is designed to help you share your pride in Kentucky while contributing to the work that brings our state’s stories to life.


This Is Just the Beginning

We’re launching with a small, curated first collection—but this is only the start.
New product waves, fresh designs, and expanded offerings are already in the works.

Each new drop will reflect the stories, creativity, and Kentucky spirit you help us share. Think of this shop as an evolving extension of our mission—growing with your support and guided by what resonates with our community.


Your Support Means Everything

Launching Gear that Gives Back is a milestone for us, but it’s also a moment of gratitude—for you. Thank you for showing up, cheering us on, and believing in the power of Kentucky stories.

We can’t wait for you to explore the shop, pick your favorites, and help us continue this mission in a meaningful (and stylish) way.

The creation of Gear that Gives Back is a direct result of your generosity and belief in what we do. Every purchase strengthens our ability to reach more people, elevate more voices, and showcase Kentucky to the world in meaningful ways.

We’re deeply grateful for your ongoing support—and excited to bring you new ways to engage with and uplift our work.



Thank You for Making This Possible!
