Ideal Applicant
A New Orleans‑based public charity or school focused on public education reform, teacher retention, youth development, or related school‑based programming that can meet documentation and 501(c)(3) requirements.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a public charity or governmental agency (not a fiscal sponsor or private foundation).
- • Programs are based in New Orleans or broadly serve Louisiana.
- • Work aligns with public education reform, charter schools, teacher retention, or youth/STEM programming.
- • Able to provide required IRS determination letter, financials, budget, and board information.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Louisiana and New Orleans specifically: 97% of grant dollars in 2023 were in‑state, with most funds tied to New Orleans organizations despite grants recorded to about ten states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 60 grants to 58 distinct recipients, including many small awards plus several larger institutional grants; this indicates a broad set of independent grantees despite some dollar concentration in the largest awards.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application guidelines and a quarterly cycle, accepts electronic or mailed proposals, and funded 20 new recipients in 2023 (about 34%), all of which point to real access for unfamiliar applicants, subject to the stated eligibility restrictions.
