Ideal Applicant
Established local nonprofits in Louisiana working on children and family services, community centers, food security, health services, or faith-based community support with existing local credibility or introductions.
Good Fit
- • Strong program presence in St. Tammany Parish / Covington–Mandeville area of Louisiana
- • Work focused on children's advocacy, community centers, food banks, or health services for families
- • Existing relationships or introductions to the foundation’s board or previously funded organizations
- • Capacity to manage grants in a range from small unrestricted awards to occasional six-figure grants
Geography
Giving is highly concentrated in one state (about 97% of dollars to Louisiana) with only a handful of small out-of-state awards across four additional states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 20 distinct independent recipients (with 14 new grantees), and over three years the portfolio grew from 5 to 13 to 20 recipients, indicating a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration among top grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation’s filings indicate it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public website or visible submission route; although many new recipients appeared in the latest year, the multi-year pattern and stated preselection policy suggest unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without introductions.
