Giving Opportunities


Giving Opportunities are one way that the Foundation promotes worthy organizations or programs that are seeking funding for specific projects. Foundation staff continuously seeks programs and projects that improve the quality of life in our community and region. As a service to our donors we will highlight Foundation Leadership initiatives and innovative projects of interest to our donors. Priority will be given to organizations working in partnership with the Foundation that may not have received coverage in other Foundation publications and those projects that focus on sustainable efforts and community solutions. You can support any of these projects through the Foundation by giving online or by calling us at 225.387.6126.

Foundation Initiatives




Beneath the Gulf, oil plumes and chemical dispersants cause damage that scientists don’t yet understand. Along the coast, oystermen, shrimpers and fishermen are at a standstill, their boats harbored, maybe for a decade or more. In response, we have established charitable funds to do whatever is necessary to save the birds, the fish, the turtles – and to make sure the people of the coast get another chance to make a respectable living.

The Foundation has worked with the community foundation in Veracruz. We have established the Fondo de Asistencia y Ayuda para los Desafios Naturales, a designated beneficiary fund for the Fundación Comunitaria Veracruz AC in their relief and recovery efforts in connection with natural disasters affecting the city of Veracruz and the surrounding areas.


El Fondo de Asistencia y Ayuda para los Desafios Naturales se estableció para la Fundacion Comunitaria Veracruz AC con el objetivo de ser usado en sus esfuerzos de socorro y recuperación con respecto a los desastres naturales que afectan a la ciudad de Veracruz y a las áreas aledañas.


 

Capital Campaigns


Heritage Ranch provides life skills, mentoring, and service learning programs in the local public school system and in the community through summer camp programs.  In March 2010, Heritage Ranch signed a contract on a 52-acre site, and in order to secure this property, they have launched a Capital Campaign to raise $1.8 million in pledges by September 2010.
