Philanthropy Begins at Home
In post-Katrina New Orleans, many donors believe that philanthropy begins right here in the region we call home. Many are not just making a one-time gift; they are creating funds that not only support the needs of the region now, but will grow to support our community tomorrow.
Giving and Growing: Richard Currence, the Arabella Fund
Leaving a Mark
Donors tell us that a successful, satisfying life is not just about doing for oneself. Rather, their greatest joy comes from knowing that they have benefited the lives of others. Through their gifts to the Greater New Orleans Foundation, donors know they have maximum impact for good–for now, or forever.

Giving Back is Our Responsibility
The quality of the community we create is the result of our collective efforts. Donors are the leaders who have rolled up their sleeves and asked, “If not us, who? If not now, when?”
