The Big Table

The Big Table is a nonprofit organization located in Louisville, Kentucky. Established as a means to foster community engagement and bridge divides, it is a relatively small organization, employing three people. While its revenue has reached $2.5 million, its operations are focused more on impact than profit. The core of The Big Table's work revolves around creating unique, large-scale dining experiences where over 1,800 individuals are seated together around tables. At these events, trained moderators lead conversations using thought-provoking questions designed to spark meaningful dialogue. While these large gatherings have been highly impactful, The Big Table is expanding to address specific community concerns. These initiatives will likely involve smaller dinner gatherings and new event formats in addition to maintaining its signature immersive dining experiences.
