Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is “to promote personal, corporate, and community responsibility for a clean and beautiful Louisiana.” Its grant programs support local work in areas including litter abatement, waste reduction, recycling, environmental education, litter enforcement, and community beautification.
Its 2024 grantees included organizations with varied local missions. For example, The Walls Project in Baton Rouge describes its work as using art, education, and community engagement to revitalize underinvested communities. Shreveport Green describes its mission as improving the city’s environment and economy through public education, beautification, litter abatement, and recycling. Sankofa Community Development Corporation describes its work as sustainable, health-centered development in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, viewed through environmental justice.
Grantmaking
The Foundation’s filings report 85 grants totaling $739,961 in 2024 and 86 grants totaling $680,986 in 2023. The average grant was about $8,705 in 2024 and $7,918 in 2023. No grants are listed for 2025.
Among the 2024 recipients, The Walls Project received $16,117, Sankofa Community Development Corporation received $13,132, Greater Baton Rouge Economic received $8,131, Shreveport Green received $8,120, Friends of South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Foundation received $8,023, and Thrive New Orleans received $7,985.
The Foundation’s 2023 filing describes a process in which applicants submit information about their organization and proposed use of funds. A review panel rates applications, and selected requests are funded within the amounts budgeted for grants. Recipients submit mid-year and final reports that include project progress and expense records. The website lists grant opportunities for local communities, including Healthy Communities, Beautification, Trash Receptacle, and affiliate grants.
For the Healthy Communities Grant, the grant page says the next round will reopen in March 2027. Eligible applicants listed there include Louisiana governmental entities, schools, colleges, universities, nonprofit organizations, and qualifying Keep Louisiana Beautiful affiliates. The page lists eligible work such as litter removal and prevention, waste management and reduction, recycling, enforcement, and environmental education; it excludes, among other things, gardening and tree-planting projects, salaries, fundraising expenses, and projects on private property. The page requires a Form W-9, good standing with the Secretary of State, state-certified vendor status, and, for nonprofit applicants, an IRS determination letter.
The Beautification Grant page also says the grant will reopen in March 2027. It describes reimbursement awards of $1,000 to $10,000 for eligible projects on public property, with a minimum 15% cash match, in-kind donation, or equivalent volunteer-hours value. The Affiliate Grant page says applications are not currently being accepted and requires a minimum 15% match. Separately, a supplied program description labels the Healthy Communities Grant and Trash Receptacle Mini Grant as currently open; the Healthy Communities status conflicts with the grant page’s stated March 2027 reopening date.
