Ideal Applicant
A local 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Shreveport/Bossier, Louisiana doing human services, food security, youth development, or education and seeking modest operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Clear local presence or program delivery in Shreveport/Bossier, LA.
- • Ability to provide an IRS tax-exempt letter with application materials.
- • Request sizes in the foundation's historical range (roughly $1k–$30k).
- • Established local reputation or an introduction from a recurring grantee or community intermediary.
- • Programs in education, food security, youth services, or basic human services.
Geography
Observed giving is tightly focused on Louisiana: in 2024 about 95% of dollars and grant count went to LA recipients, with only small out-of-state gifts to two other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 39 distinct recipients and annual counts of 37–41 over three years, indicating a wide and diverse set of independent grantees for a foundation of this size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of an open competitive process is absent and the foundation states it mainly funds preselected organizations, but multi-year data show new grantees each year (9 in 2023, 7 in 2024) and a public application/contact route exists, making selective entry plausible but not broadly open.
