Goals

The ultimate goal of IMPACT 2010 is to create a resilient, sustainable, vibrant, and equitable region in which individuals and families flourish and in which the special character of the New Orleans region and its people is preserved, celebrated, and given the means to develop.
Our shorter-term objectives are to:

1. Provide a much needed source of financial and other support to nonprofit organizations that are struggling in the current financial environment and that are important to the health and vibrancy of our region.
2. Develop a better sense of the nonprofit organizations serving our region so we can more effectively match donor desires with effective charitable work.
3. Identify and nurture promising new leaders and initiatives, especially in those communities that are in greatest need.
4. Gain knowledge that will help Foundation staff develop better long-term strategies for addressing regional needs and take best advantage of important opportunities.
