Who Are We and What Do We Do?

When the Greater New Orleans Foundation asked New Orleanians to answer these questions for our new video, they immediately started to talk about the many things they love about their city.

“We are a community of givers,” said WWL-TV’s Angela Hill.

From education to housing to the environment and much more, the Greater New Orleans Foundation reflects who New Orleanians are and what is important to them.

GNOF’s CEO Albert Ruesga narrates the video, saying that “the greatest asset of a community foundation is having people who love the place they live in.”
