Presidents of Six Foundations Discuss Opportunities for Future Investment <\/em><\/p>\n

New Orleans, LA (August 28, 2015)<\/strong> \u2014 As New Orleans marks the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, \u00a0major foundations active in the region came together on Friday to share their vision for how philanthropic investment can unlock the city\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n

As part of a daylong event hosted by the City of New Orleans, the presidents of six foundations investing in the region held a panel discussion to offer their unique perspective on what\u2019s happened in New Orleans over the past decade, and what still needs to happen for New Orleans to become a more just and resilient city. The panel featured The Rockefeller Foundation and members of the Greater New Orleans Funders Network, including the Ford Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, The Kresge Foundation and the JPMorgan Chase Foundation. In breakout sessions, local and national funders discussed ways New Orleans can adapt to physical and environmental stresses, create prosperity for all residents and promote inclusion, equity and justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhilanthropy has played a major role in moving New Orleans forward since Hurricane Katrina,\u201d said Moira McDonald of the Walton Family Foundation. \u201cWe are committed to the region and determined to see New Orleans become stronger, more equitable and more resilient for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, the foundations that make up the Greater New Orleans Funders Network have invested nearly $570 million since 2005 to support New Orleans\u2019 recovery and growth. They released Making New Orleans A Just And Resilient City Framing Paper<\/a> on Friday that explores the progress and challenges facing New Orleans in a variety of areas where philanthropy plays an important role, including education, economic development, affordable housing, environmental restoration and public health. The paper highlights the significant public, private and philanthropic investment in the city that will provide a unique opportunity for New Orleans to move forward in those areas, and invites other funders to be a part of the city\u2019s transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a pivotal moment for New Orleans,\u201d said Flozell Daniels of the Foundation for Louisiana. \u201cThe unprecedented combination of resident leadership, political will, evidence-based plans and dedicated funding is our best opportunity to deliver on equitable outcomes as the major priority in strengthening New Orleans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPhilanthropic investment can be the key that unlocks New Orleans\u2019 potential,\u201d said Jerry Maldonado of the Ford Foundation. \u201cWe can make New Orleans a model for cities across the country. But we need more funders to be a part of this effort.<\/p>\n
