Welcome!
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.

About the Solidarity Fund
Foundation for Louisiana (FFL) invests in communities and ideas, builds partnerships, and transforms policies and systems for an equitable, stronger Louisiana.
With support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Solidarity Fund offers sponsorships to Louisiana-based nonprofits as part of a strategy to increase racial justice in philanthropy—particularly for grassroots organizations working in and for Louisiana.
FFL defines racial justice as the liberatory and transformational vision of what society could be—and must become—once we eliminate racial hierarchies, advance collective liberation, and ensure that People of the Global Majority have the resources, dignity, power, and self-determination to thrive fully and wholly.
We understand racial equity as the enactment and reinforcement of policies, practices, attitudes, and actions that produce power, access, opportunities, treatment, and outcomes for all—while accounting for the ongoing impact of historical and contemporary racial disparities.
Eligibility & Funding Guidelines
To be eligible for support from the Solidarity Fund, applicants must:
- Be a Louisiana-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or be fiscally sponsored by one
- Submit a complete sponsorship application at least 60 days before the event
- Propose an activity that takes place on or before December 31, 2026
We prioritize applications from organizations that have historically lacked access to flexible funding due to systemic exclusions based on racism, sexism, classism, ableism, and heterosexism.
What We Fund
Sponsorships can be used to support:
- Community events, convenings, and gatherings
- Fundraisers and benefit performances
- Learning opportunities or public awareness campaigns
- Organizing events and cultural programming
Projects that do not generally receive consideration:
- The private benefit of any specific individual
- Public or private secondary schools (Pre-K - 12)
Funding Parameters
- Maximum award: $25,000
- Average award: $5,000
- One award per organization per FFL fiscal year
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis while funds remain available
What We Look For
We assess applications based on:
- Alignment with FFL’s mission and program areas, including racial justice, climate justice, and criminal justice
- Support for our strategic priorities: arts and culture, economic opportunity, and community leadership and wisdom
- The feasibility, urgency, and community impact of the proposed activity
