The grantees describe their own work in varied terms: Shreveport Opera says it produces opera and musical productions and provides education and outreach; Shreveport Symphony says it provides classical music and educational programs; and Shreveport Green says it works on public education, community beautification, litter abatement, and recycling. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the foundation’s.
