Supporting Freedom Work Statewide
Foundation for Louisiana was born in 2005 in the tumultuous days following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Founded as the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation, our initial work was to invest in and support the immediate recovery of Louisiana’s communities following the storms.
Our founders knew that a full and responsible recovery would entail far more than rebuilding what was lost – we would need to address the long-standing inequities that have shaped life outcomes for the most marginalized of Louisianans. Our programs grew in response to these needs, and today Foundation for Louisiana (FFL) focuses on Criminal Justice Reform, Racial Justice, Climate Justice, Economic Justice, Arts & Culture, Gender Justice, and Philanthropic Leadership. Today, we are proud to support freedom work statewide.
Our programs address the longstanding inequities that have shaped life outcomes for the most marginalized of Louisianans. We accomplish this via a three-pronged strategy of investing, building and transforming. We are proud to support freedom work statewide.

Join the Recovery: Your Support Makes a Difference!
Informed Action for a Stronger Louisiana Discover how your support can create lasting change. Hurricane Francine is expected to bring devastating impacts to communities across Louisiana, with heavy rains, flooding, and storm surges. The storm is currently a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph. It is expected to strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane before landfall. At Foundation for Louisiana (FFL), we understand that recovery goes beyond immediate relief—it requires long-term investments in communities often left behind in traditional disaster responses. Through our Freedom Forward Fund, we support efforts that focus on equitable recovery, ensuring that marginalized communities have the resources to rebuild stronger and more resilient. With your support, we play a critical role in organizing, funding, and advocating for policies that ensure just recovery for all Louisianans. Your donation and advocacy help us prepare for the long haul—investing in communities today to ensure they are better equipped to face future crises. Join us in creating lasting change and building a more resilient Louisiana. You're not just a bystander – you're an advocate for a better Louisiana. That's why we want to empower you with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your impact.
