ABOUT THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS
At the Greater New Orleans Foundation, we look to create a vibrant, sustainable and just region for all in the Greater New Orleans region. The Greater New Orleans Foundation serves both donors and grantees—linking people who want to give with the needs and aspirations of the greater community.
We provide civic leadership by pulling together people, ideas and resources; we increase the effectiveness of nonprofit leaders and organizations and partner with donors to help them achieve their charitable goals, whether that means starting a fund, creating an endowment, or just making a gift to benefit the community.
