About Us
“My grandmother worked as a Rosie the Riveter during WWII, and her photo has always been inspirational for me. The spirit of the Rosies, the moxie of an underestimated group overcoming a significant challenge through teamwork, is why I created Pivot. Our goal is to apply that spirit to help improve our community and the environment.”

Our Community
We are always looking for ways to serve our community better, so contact us if you think Pivot can help with your project or charity.
One way we contribute is by offering our event space for free to non-profits and civic groups. Get in touch with us through our contact form if your group needs a place for meetings or an event.

Ongoing and Past Outreach
Lobbying
Pivot staff lobby members of Congress on behalf of the Citizens' Climate Lobby, which is promoting the passage of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.
Charity Can Releases
Pivot donates a portion of the sales from our Charity Can series to some great organizations. Previous partners have included Science Sistas and the KY Fried Sisters.

Pivot is honored to help with Ironcology’s Survive the Night Relays. This race raises funds for the family needs of cancer patients and includes an overnight, team-based Ironman distance triathlon and a team-based marathon.
Solar Panel Installation
We finished our solar panel installation in April 2020, and are looking to cover all of our electricity usage. The people at Solar Energy Solutions were great.
Fundraising Events
We have a great time partnering with non-profits on fundraising events like our Barktoberfest pet costume contest for the Lexington Humane Society. Reach out if you have an idea for an event.
Mask Sewing Campaign
We worked with volunteers from UK and the Woodford County Extension Office to supply materials for more than 500 masks during the late spring.
