The Vogt Invention and Innovation Award is a $5 million endowment left by Henry Vogt Heuser to help inventors and innovators develop their products and ideas. Up to $250,000 is available per year. The primary purpose of this award is to memorialize the Vogt tradition of innovation in Louisville and to give selected recipients the recognition and financial support they need to commercialize their product.

Newly launched in 2006, the Vogt Development Awards provide a 2:1 matching grant, with up to $10,000 awarded, to local entrepreneurs and inventors to assist them in hiring professional assistance to achieve a needed milestone early in the development stage.

The Vogt Award is a program of the Community Foundation of Louisville and The Enterprise Corporation. It is intended to recognize excellence in product innovation and inspire inventors to see their ideas reach full potential.
