Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) small-to-midsize nonprofit with demonstrable community impact—preferably operating in Louisiana (but occasionally in VA or IL)—seeking program or operating support in the typical small grant range.
Good Fit
- • Strong local impact or programs serving Louisiana communities.
- • Project or operating budgets aligned with typical grants (roughly $2.5K–$25K).
- • Work in areas the foundation has funded before (Alzheimer’s support, food security, arts/culture, animal welfare, community services).
- • Clear, concise request with basic nonprofit documentation (IRS status, budget, short project description).
- • Willingness to accept a simple rolling/letter-style submission rather than a formal application.
Geography
Grants appear across three states, but the portfolio is strongly concentrated in Louisiana (about 78% of dollars in the latest year), indicating state-level focus with occasional out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct recipients and high turnover (11 new recipients in that year, with only four repeats across the observed period), demonstrating a broad and varied recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows many new grantees (11 new recipients in the latest year) and the foundation publishes contact details plus a rolling/no-formal-application submission route, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
