Foundation for Louisiana is the people's foundation. We tackle the issues that most deeply impact our communities, advocating alongside Louisianans to chart our own futures. We use our power responsibly, acknowledge it, and push it outward. We are Black-led and honor the knowledge of people of color, women, LBGTQIA2S+ individuals, people with disabilities, immigrants and refugees -- and the many ways in which these and many other identities intersect. We are bold in our analysis and movement towards freedom, amplifying the lived experiences of Louisianans closest to the work.
