Plan Baton Rouge
In 1998, Baton Rouge gathered to dream up a new downtown. Ten years on, their dream has come true, as downtown is becoming busier around the clock. In the latest issue of Currents, we celebrate the rise of the city center and look ahead to Plan Baton Rouge Two.

Our generous fund donors provide money to help charities in the region and to fund vital projects in the community. They have paid for thousands of initiatives, such as revival plans for downtown, a program to create experimental schools, poetry workshops, services for the abused, underwriting for the Shaw Center for the Arts.

Our members support the essential functions of their Foundation. They help to pay for the daily operations that turn the gears of our work in the community. They also get invited to special events and inside information on what's happening in the community. They also feel good about themselves.

Nonprofit survey
The Foundation is testing software that allows donors to research nonprofit organizations and make online grant recommendations. The software will increase connectivity between nonprofits and donors. To prepare for launch of the Northstar software, we request nonprofits take a few minutes to submit updated information regarding their work.
