OVERVIEW

The New Orleans experience of the past few years has vividly demonstrated why a community foundation must be prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to the needs of its community. Those needs have changed quickly and dramatically, yet the Greater New Orleans Foundation has been there with support, insight and leadership.

We now make grants for important nonprofit initiatives across our region, but we do much more beyond grantmaking. We research the pressing needs of New Orleans, evaluate solutions and provide coordinated responses.

The Foundation now serves as a gathering place for local and national leaders to meet, develop strategies and evaluate tactics. We bring disparate stakeholders in our community together at a common table and help overcome the obstacles of the past. The Foundation has become a convener of ideas, people and capital all focused on the goal of improving the greater New Orleans region. The programs detailed in this section are the vehicles to achieve this mission.
