Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s stated mission is to improve community wellness and the physical and mental health of people in its service area. Its strategic themes are promoting healthy lifestyles through education, awareness, and wellness services; improving access to healthcare through availability and affordability; and addressing the special healthcare needs of infants and minor children.
Its website describes initiatives including dental hygiene clinics with the University of Louisiana at Monroe, suicide prevention and intervention, dementia and Alzheimer’s-related support, and school-based health centers. The Foundation considers applications from qualifying tax-exempt organizations and governmental entities in its eight-parish service area.
Grantees’ own descriptions illustrate the range of organizations supported. Union General Hospital says its mission is to provide quality service with compassionate care; Ouachita Council on Aging says it provides meals and health services for the elderly; and Ouachita Green describes work promoting litter control, beautification, recycling, waste minimization, and proper household hazardous-waste disposal. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the Foundation’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Foundation reported 36 grants totaling $1,269,481. Grant amounts ranged from $6,250 to $187,500, with a median of $18,250. The largest awards included $187,500 to Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine for a mobile medical unit, $150,000 to Louisiana Delta Community College for “LDCC- Bastrop,” and $120,000 to Children’s Coalition for “Signs of Suicide.” Other reported awards included $85,000 to the Salvation Army of Monroe for “Beacon of Hope,” $75,000 to Citizens Medical Center for “Sterile Sync,” and $65,000 to Union General Hospital for behavioral health.
The Foundation’s 2025 filing separately describes $1,230,782 for its grant cycle and $47,449 for a dental hygiene initiative providing services through a school-based dental clinic, a mobile unit, and an on-campus clinic at ULM. These program figures differ from the filing’s itemized grant total.
The Foundation’s grants page says cycles are typically announced in early spring. The 2026 cycle is closed, and the website says its board has completed approval of awards for that cycle; a future cycle is to be announced in spring 2027. The site provides an online application and lists a grant budget worksheet, budget narrative, directors and officers form, disclosure form, and application tips. Proposals must meet the specific areas of emphasis announced for a grant cycle. The site identifies 501(c)(3) organizations that are not private foundations and governmental entities as eligible applicant types.
