Ideal Applicant
Mid‑to‑small nonprofits focused on scholarships, education, arts & culture, health/human services, or Jewish causes—especially organizations in Louisiana but also groups in other states that match the foundation’s program areas.
Good Fit
- • Programs that align with scholarships, education, arts and culture, human services, or Jewish community support.
- • Projects sized for small-to-midsize grants (many awards clustered at $5K or below, with some grants up to the mid six figures).
- • Ability to submit a Letter of Inquiry via the foundation’s online portal or to contact the named email.
- • Local New Orleans-area organizations or out-of-state groups with clear program alignment and strong program descriptions.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 28 states; the largest state accounted for about 31% of dollars while the foundation state accounted for about 29%, showing a multi‑state footprint rather than a strictly local-only focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 113 distinct recipients and 115 grants, with 71 new recipients that year and 42 repeat grantees across the observed years, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set across program areas.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes an online grant application portal, a named application contact email, and 71 new recipients in the latest year; with three years of history and substantial turnover, unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
