Eight Organizations Receive a Grant<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(New Orleans, LA | November 18, 2016) The Greater New Orleans Foundation is proud to announce it granted $421,000 to eight organizations working to rebuild communities across Louisiana impacted by the historic floods in August. The grants are to nonprofit organizations working on the implementation of long-term recovery efforts within their fragile, yet resilient communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperience has taught us that after emergency grants are made for immediate needs like shelter and food, then it\u2019s time to focus on more long-term needs,\u201d said Andy Kopplin, president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation. \u201cThese grants are addressing such long-term needs as community planning, mental health services, and legal aid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The grants are possible thanks to support from numerous foundations including The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which awarded $1 million to the Greater New Orleans Foundation\u2019s Disaster Relief Fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe partnered with the Greater New Orleans Foundation because of their expertise in disaster grantmaking and rebuilding efforts,\u201d said Christy W. Slater, New Orleans-based W.K. Kellogg Foundation program officer \u201cThey have an awareness, an understanding, and a deep knowledge of the issues communities face as they rebuild. Sharing those experiences is a valuable resource.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other funders to the fund included: the Razoo Foundation, the Annenberg Foundation, and DentaQuest.<\/p>\n

Grants have been awarded to the following organizations:<\/p>\n

All Hands,<\/strong> $35,000, to coordinate a volunteer effort to help rebuild homes in Denham Springs for families that didn\u2019t qualify for assistance programs<\/p>\n

Appleseed Louisiana,<\/strong> $6,000, to print the Guide to Protecting Your Property Rights in Louisiana<\/em>, a useful booklet that was widely distributed after hurricane Katrina<\/p>\n

Center for Planning Excellence, <\/strong>$75,000, to work with mayors in towns impacted by the floods to make informed, regionally-connected and coordinated decisions regarding their future development<\/p>\n

Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance,<\/strong> $50,000, to provide technical assistance and develop regional housing plans in all the impacted parishes<\/p>\n

Healing Hearts for Community Development,<\/strong> $70,000, to train professionals at nonprofit agencies to help treat individuals struggling from trauma<\/p>\n

Save the Children,<\/strong> $75,000, to provide mental health services to children with emotional needs<\/p>\n
