September 15, 2017 | NEW ORLEANS, LA \u2013 <\/strong>Today, Mayor Mitch Landrieu and The Greater New Orleans Foundation<\/a> (GNOF) announced an additional $100,000 was raised for the NOLA Pay It Forward Fund<\/a> . The Greater New Orleans Foundation board raised $50,000, which was matched by $50,000 from the Sherry and Alan Leventhal Family Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of New Orleans know what it\u2019s like to suffer through a disaster. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma,\u201d said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. \u201cWe are grateful for our partnership with the Greater New Orleans Foundation to support our non-profit community in bringing relief to the impacted areas. Additionally, we are proud to expand our promotional efforts to encourage more people to make a difference. New Orleans, let\u2019s stand together and pay it forward. It\u2019s our turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unveiled by Mayor Landrieu, the NOLA Pay It Forward Fund<\/a> promotional video campaign was released to rally support for the Fund. Along with Mayor Landrieu and GNOF President & CEO Andy Kopplin, partners in the video included Michael Fitts, president of Tulane University; Dr. Walter Kimbrough, president of Dillard University; Andy Kopplin, president & CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation; Chris Cameron, executive director of HandsOn New Orleans; Lester Love, pastor of City of Love; and, Andrenecia Morris, executive director of HousingNOLA. The video campaign will begin airing today and can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly grateful to the donors who have contributed to the NOLA Pay It Forward Fund,\u201d said Andy Kopplin, president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation. \u201cGrants from this fund are helping local nonprofit organizations who are sending supplies, recruiting volunteers, and providing relief efforts to those affected by the storms. We\u2019re bringing our expertise to where it\u2019s needed most.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Aug. 28, Mayor Landrieu and GNOF reactivated the NOLA Pay It Forward Fund to contribute to recovery efforts following Hurricane Harvey\u2019s impact in Texas and Southwest Louisiana. Most recently, the Fund distributed $68,000 which was distributed to local community organizations that are helping those affected by Hurricane Harvey through various relief efforts and initiatives. Hurricane Irma relief efforts are also anticipated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our turn to help and we hope that some of the hard lessons we\u2019ve learned during Katrina will help our neighbors experiencing such heartbreaking devastation,\u201d \u00a0said Connie Uddo, NOLA Tree Project Director, and one of several organizations that received a grant from the NOLA Pay It Forward\u2019s first round<\/a> of grants.<\/p>\n
