Summary
This grant supports nonprofit organizations operating within specific communities served by a regional contractor in Louisiana. The opportunity is designed to strengthen local charitable initiatives by providing unrestricted funding that addresses urgent community needs, ranging from program expansion to core operating support.
Eligible applicants include registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve residents in the contractor’s service area. Organizations may submit one application per cycle and must have an active presence in supported communities. The grant intends to distribute meaningful resources annually through a competitive review process.
Award amounts may vary up to a maximum of $10,000 per recipient. While specific funding levels depend on the current pool, these grants are geared toward enabling organizations to expand service reach, cover essential program costs, or launch piloted efforts. Funds can be applied flexibly toward charitable programming, capacity-building, or project implementation as long as the work benefits the local community.
Applications are accepted seasonally, with a typical window opening mid-year and closing in the fall. Grants are awarded once annually following a competitive evaluation, with recipients announced shortly after the submission deadline. Grantees are required to submit a brief report within approximately two months of completing funded activities, including a budget summary and narrative description of outcomes.
Selection emphasizes alignment with community needs, institutional capacity, demonstrated impact, and accountability. This one-time grant supports both programmatic innovation and steady-state service delivery and is designed to empower locally led nonprofits to address persistent gaps or emerging challenges.
This recurring opportunity provides a valuable infusion of funds to help nonprofits maintain momentum, pilot new initiatives, or enhance existing efforts. It is particularly well suited to organizations that are rooted in the community and able to quickly deploy resources to meet evolving demands.
