Community Foundation of Acadiana was created to improve the quality of life in our region. The Foundation achieves this goal by increasing charitable giving, creating meaningful and effective giving opportunities for our donors, and providing leadership in our region. These efforts are grounded in the belief that through philanthropy the Foundation can positively impact our community. The Foundation is committed to servicing and benefitting the geographic area of south-central Louisiana. It has positioned itself as a "tool" for individual donors, families and corporations to increase and enhance their charitable and philanthropic interests. It has also positioned itself as a "tool" for other entities (including local government entities) to help realize objectives and/or projects that may need an objective third party.
Annual Leaders in Philanthropy Event - Each year, Community Foundation of Acadiana (CFA) invites the public to submit nominations for its prestigious Leaders in Philanthropy Awards. Individuals, couples or groups are nominated and selected from each of the eight parishes of Acadiana. Additionally, corporations are nominated to receive one or more corporate awards. In all cases, awardees are exceptional philanthropists that have either made generous contributions and/or attracted substantial contributions to enhance the quality of life in their respective communities and in Acadiana.
Scholarships- Community Foundation of Acadiana provides assistance to students at any education level or for a specific institution. All scholarship grants are paid directly to the educational institution.
