Greater New Orleans Foundation - 2020-2021 Gratitude Report

Rising to the Occasion

DEAR FRIENDS,

Over the past two years, we have come together to address some of the most pressing challenges our region has faced, from the COVID-19 pandemic, to Hurricane Ida, to persistent racial inequity. This community has never been one to back down in the face of adversity. Southeast Louisiana knows disaster, and we know how to come out stronger on the other side. This is not to say we accept the crises we face; instead, we fight back, working together each day to build a better region for generations to come.

We are grateful to work with each of you—a group of people who grow more generous in times of scarcity, who give amidst loss, and who are unfailingly thoughtful about how to best share and use your resources. We took targeted, meaningful action to respond to these challenges, and your giving propelled it. We have a pulse on the needs of our community, and you partnered with us to help meet those needs and build a better region for all.

At the very start of the pandemic, we saw how the region’s tourism and hospitality sector—one of our largest industries and the livelihood of so many—was hurting. With your support, we created the Louisiana Service & Hospitality Family Assistance Program to provide critical $1,000 dollar grants to nearly 1,900 families who had been earning a low income even before the pandemic began.

Also with your support, we made grants of over $4 million to more than 100 nonprofits working on the front lines of the pandemic across our region. We invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to support food banks and food pantries, and then partnered with the City of New Orleans in a pioneering effort to leverage these funds by securing $30 million more from FEMA for food security. The city ultimately used those funds to keep local restaurants open and provide over 3 million meals to our community.

Like so many, we were inspired to see millions of Americans come together to decry racial violence and commit to being part of the solution. In our region, we continue to see persistent racial inequities in every measure of well-being and know they are the result of unfair and discriminatory systems. Your support allowed us to create the Greater Together Fund for

Racial Equity, for which we have committed to raising $3 million over three years. Already we have been able to provide nearly $2.5 million to Black-led organizations that work directly to combat institutional racism, eliminate inequitable systems, and close the racial wealth gap.

As Hurricane Ida was approaching, we used our deep experience in disaster recovery to prepare for and respond to the storm. We made our first grants before the storm even made landfall, and we quickly supported grassroots and nonprofit efforts in the hardest-hit regions within days.

We continue to increase our impact. In 2020 and 2021, the Foundation raised nearly $10 million more for our grantmaking each year than we had in 2019. In partnership with our fundholders, we gave out thousands more grants to incredible nonprofits these last two years. Your vision and partnership drives our work, and our board and staff are here to turn that passion into leadership and lasting change. In this report, we share what our leadership has looked like over the past years. Thank you for fueling it.

With gratitude,

ANDY KOPPLIN President & CEO, Greater New Orleans Foundation Doris Z. Stone Chair in Philanthropic Partnership

Investing in Racial Equity

When we ask our nonprofit partners across Southeast Louisiana about the challenges they see in their communities, many of them point to persistent racial disparities, from health outcomes to educational opportunity to homeownership rates. They know these disparities reflect both present and historical injustice. Many of our partners have personally experienced these injustices, and have faced significant racial bias, discrimination, and even danger in our region.

The Greater New Orleans Foundation heightened our efforts to tackle racial injustice head-on in 2020, following the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. We know that these killings are part of a long history of racial violence. We also know that we can never achieve our vision of a vibrant, sustainable, and just region for all without addressing racial equity now. So in September 2020, the Foundation created the Greater Together Fund for Racial Equity and seeded it with $350,000. The fund invests in Black-led nonprofits directly addressing inequitable systems, as well as initiatives that help close the racial wealth gap, such as those bolstering homeownership and local Black-owned businesses.

Our donors have been eager to support these efforts. One of the earliest and largest gifts came from Facebook. They had set aside $100 million to protect, support, and empower Black communities in the spring of 2020, and they put their trust in community foundations like ours to help them find those organizations. Inspired by the Foundation’s strong track record for fueling social impact, they invested $1 million in the fund.

We are proud to stand behind nonprofits working toward racial equity.

Soon, Janet and Barry Lang, Martha Murphy, The Zemurray Foundation, The Collins Diboll Foundation, and many others joined in with their own generous gifts. We began awarding grants in November 2020, and four months later, we had supported 31 local nonprofits with $1.45 million in funding. In 2022, we made another $1 million worth of grants. Our grantees are approaching their work in varied, impactful, and creative ways. The Greater Together Fund’s grantees include the Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center, which fights housing discrimination; the Grow Dat Youth Farm, an urban farm and youth development nonprofit; and the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music, which has built a community around music for children and adults in the 9th Ward of New Orleans.

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: THRIVE NEW ORLEANS

One of our first grantees was Thrive New Orleans. Thrive is a local nonprofit that runs a community center, creates employment pathways, provides affordable housing, and supports entrepreneurs of color.

Thrive’s Executive Director, Chuck Morse, was strategic about how to best use the grant from the Greater Together Fund. The pandemic has been difficult on our local businesses, and Chuck knew many Black entrepreneurs were struggling within an already difficult landscape. Though over a third of all businesses in New Orleans are owned by people of color, they receive just 2% of gross sales in the city. Morse knew that supporting these entrepreneurs would have a ripple effect not just on our economy, but on the health and well-being of our community.

Morse is guided by a belief that “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” So he and his team showed care first. They talked one-on-one with Black business owners in our city to understand the financial and emotional toll the pandemic was taking on them, and to offer help in navigating the obstacles they faced. Thrive then used the Greater Together funds to offer accounting guidance, business seminars, and legal resources for nearly 300 local businesses. This left businesses stronger, and entrepreneurs and their families with more of the resources they needed.

There is, of course, no single pathway toward racial equity in our nation or our region. We know no single organization or individual can carry this alone. That’s why we support a diverse coalition of dedicated people working to make change. We are grateful for the conviction of our donors in standing with us and with those on the front lines.

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Food Security in an Uncertain Time

Even before the pandemic hit, we faced a crisis of food insecurity in South Louisiana. Too many people didn’t know where they would get their next meal and in 2019, roughly one in four children statewide were experiencing food insecurity.

The pandemic not only increased the number of people facing food insecurity, but made it harder to connect them with resources. For our elderly and immunocompromised residents in particular, leaving the house for a grocery store, food bank, or meal distribution site brought significant risk. To keep our community safe, especially early in the pandemic, we needed to help folks stay home.

This was an enormous challenge for our region, but the Foundation is well prepared to meet such crises with solutions.

READY FOR CRISES

Senior Program Officer Isabel Barrios specializes in responding to disasters. In recent years, she led the Foundation’s work at home and afar in the wake of catastrophe. She managed our response to Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana, Hurricanes Maria and Irma in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Hurricanes Laura and Delta in Southeast Louisiana, as well as massive flooding in Baton Rouge in 2016 and tornadoes in New Orleans East in 2017. She was instrumental in the development of the Foundation’s disaster response framework, which includes strategic coordination with government, nonprofits, and philanthropists, as well as research and responsive grantmaking to help nonprofits and individuals recover from disaster.

Our disaster response framework allowed us to confront two crises at once. We worked with local leaders and nonprofits to simultaneously tackle food insecurity and COVID-19.

When COVID-19 hit, we used that framework to help tackle the problem of food insecurity during a pandemic. Part of that framework involves working closely with local governments and nonprofit partners, and this was no exception.

In New Orleans, for instance, we collaborated early on with the New Orleans Mayor’s office. There were many nonprofits working to distribute meals across the city, but without coordination, they might duplicate their efforts or leave residents behind. Isabel served as the co-chair of the city’s Food Security Task Force and used her leadership, experience, and relationships with nonprofits to facilitate productive collaboration across the many groups.

To support the city in securing more resources, we funded research into the emerging needs around pandemic food security and helped the city prepare a proposal to FEMA about the findings. FEMA had never

funded this type of initiative before, but they were convinced and awarded the city a pioneering grant of $18 million.

With this funding, the City of New Orleans added its own food security initiative to supplement those of the nonprofit sector. They contracted with Revolution Foods, who partnered with local restaurants, the Chef’s Brigade, the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute (NOCHI), and d’Livery NOLA. Within a few short weeks, these partners had begun distributing meals to families that needed them — and by May 2021, the city had secured over $30 million in total funding and delivered 3.3 million meals to over 24,000 people.

“After we go through these things, we are forever changed.”

ISABEL BARRIOS Senior Program Officer, Greater New Orleans Foundation

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE

Through August 2021, we continued to provide disaster relief funding to nonprofits responding to the pandemic. Our long-term support goes beyond funding, however. Our Nonprofit Leadership and Effectiveness programming allows us to help nonprofits build their capacity to respond when disaster strikes, and to rebuild in the wake of it. We know that some of what we’re forced to learn during a crisis can make our work stronger, even in times of calm.

“After we go through these things,” says Barrios, “we are forever changed.”

This was the case for the Broadmoor Improvement Association, who partnered with the New Orleans Food Policy Action Council (FPAC) to address food insecurity early in the pandemic, and who the Foundation supported with grants. The Broadmoor Improvement Association had always run a food pantry in their neighborhood, but they expanded their efforts. To meet the needs of the growing number of people, often seniors, who were food insecure, they learned how to help people sign up for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and developed their capacity to interpret for people with limited English proficiency who wanted to apply for SNAP.

These shifts were born from disaster, but their impact will last long beyond this crisis. The Broadmoor Improvement Association was just one of many nonprofits we saw adapt, adjust, and strengthen as our community was most in need. In the hardest times, we find our nonprofits work harder.

“Our Nonprofit Leadership and Effectiveness programming allows us to help nonprofits build their capacity to respond when disaster strikes, and to rebuild in the wake of it.”

Here for our Service and Hospitality Workers

When the pandemic took the jobs of bartenders, cooks, and hotel workers nearly overnight, the Greater New Orleans Foundation stepped in.

Southeast Louisiana is known worldwide for our food, our music, our hospitality, and our culture. When COVID-19 left Louisiana under stay-at-home orders in March 2020, those industries were shut down overnight. Restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and music venues closed. Hotels emptied. Suddenly, thousands of service and hospitality workers were out of a job.

This meant that thousands of people weren’t just trying to keep themselves and their families safe from the virus, but they were also struggling to pay their bills, purchase their groceries, and care for their families.

Mrs. Gayle Benson, a trustee at the Greater New Orleans Foundation, knew these families would desperately need help. She reached out to the Foundation and offered a $500,000 donation to directly support the service industry workers who were out of a job. Knowing that the Foundation could leverage her grant, she challenged us to use it as a launching pad to raise even more.

The leadership at The McIlhenny Company, maker of Tabasco® brand pepper sauce, knew the chefs and restaurant workers that served their product every day would need a helping hand. With encouragement from Christy Brown, the Foundation’s immediate past chair, The McIlhenny Company quickly signed up as an additional lead sponsor and the Foundation’s Louisiana Service and Hospitality Family Assistance Program was launched.

“The chef and hospitality community in New Orleans is as vibrant as it is anywhere in the world. There’s no place quite like New Orleans—where food is almost worshiped,” explained Harold Osborne, CEO of the McIlhenny Company.

“So we thought, ‘How are we going to do this? How are we going to get involved? How are we going to give back?’ There’s no one better than the Greater New Orleans Foundation,” Osborne said.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Louisiana (BCBSLA) joined shortly thereafter with their own generous gift.

“We traditionally don’t make grants of both this size and of this rapidity. But given just the nature of the need that was so apparent, we felt like we needed to be able to give grants of substance quickly, and do so in partnership with folks who could get resources in the hands of people who really needed it,” said Michael Tipton, President of the BCBSLA Foundation Board of Directors. “So that’s why we were glad to partner with the Greater New Orleans Foundation.”

QUICK, DECISIVE, AND IMPACTFUL ACTION

We swiftly set up a program to deliver grants of $1,000 to service and hospitality workers. To ensure our funds reached those who needed them the most, we limited grants to those who were responsible for the care of others and who had been making below 80% of the annual median income before the pandemic. We created a simple online application to quickly allocate funds—the form was designed to take less than fifteen minutes to complete and was easy to submit from a cell phone, so the process didn’t add more stress to our service and hospitality industry workers’ lives.

GROWING FUNDS, HELPING MORE

As the program got underway, we kept raising funds. On April 6, 2020, ESPN rebroadcast the 2006 Saints vs. Falcons game—the first game back in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina and the one Saints fans all remember for Steve Gleason’s blocked punt. Partnering with the Saints, ESPN encouraged viewers to help out by making donations to honor their favorite Saints players—$9 for Drew Brees, $37 to recognize Steve Gleason, $41 for Alvin Kamara. Hundreds of Saints fans from our region rallied in support and sent donations.

“The chef and hospitality community in New Orleans is as vibrant as it is anywhere in the world. There’s no place quite like New Orleans—where food is almost worshiped…So we thought, ‘How are we going to do this? How are we going to get involved? How are we going to give back?’ There’s no one better than

New Orleans Foundation.”

- Harold Osborne CEO of the McIlhenny Company

Between the major gifts from Mrs. Benson, The McIlhenny Company, BCBSLA, Sugar Bowl Foundation, New Orleans Convention Center, Greater New Orleans Foundation Fundholders, and many other individuals, the Foundation’s fundraising for the Family Assistance Program ultimately reached nearly $1.9 million, leveraging Mrs. Benson’s original grant more than two-and-a-half times.

As we used those donated resources to provide grants, letters of thanks came pouring in. By the program’s conclusion, we had awarded $1,000 grants to 1,878 families. The average family receiving aid had three members and pre-pandemic earnings less than $27,000 per year.

Hotel workers, restaurant teams, and bar staff reached out with their appreciation.

“Thank you so much,” wrote Larae Barad, who works in a local hotel. “This helps my family a lot. Appreciate everything that you’ve done for our hospitality workers.”

“Thank you all for your generosity. Your contribution is much appreciated, and it helped me and my son so much in this rough patch,” wrote Chrystal Flood, a local restaurant worker. “You are truly miracle workers, and I can’t thank you enough.”

Barad, Flood, and their colleagues make so many people feel welcome in the Greater New Orleans region each day. They make neighborhood bars, storied restaurants, and world-class hotels feel like homes. They make regulars and visitors feel like family. We were glad to be able to help them care for their own families and homes in a time of great need.

“Human Nature is to Want to Help”

A Conversation with Mrs. Gayle Benson

Mrs. Gayle Benson has long used the power of philanthropy to make Southeast Louisiana stronger, healthier, and more vibrant. We sat down with her to discuss her generous gift to support our region’s service and hospitality workers.

You inspired the creation of the Louisiana Service and Hospitality Family Assistance Program. What prompted you to propose this idea to the Foundation?

I think from the very beginning of the pandemic, most of us sensed the immediate worry that this was going to be unlike anything we had ever experienced. When things shut down virtually overnight early in March of 2020, I immediately thought of all of the people in our state that work in the service and hospitality industries. My heart hurt for them and how their universes changed in an instant.

They are hardworking folks with a spirit of helping and serving people, and when everything stopped, I just sensed the hurt and fear many of them would experience. That motivated me to try to help as quickly as possible.

When did you know you wanted to help create this fund?

Immediately. We are blessed to live in a part of the world that is unique and draws people that want to come and experience our way of living, our culture, and our history and see it and experience it for themselves.

It’s not a secret that it’s the people of our city, state, and region that give it the rich character that it’s known for throughout the world. I sensed right away that [the pandemic] was going to change their way of life instantaneously and there needed to be immediate assistance. There are those with young families and those with elderly families and everything in between that needed help—and they needed it immediately.

Why did you choose to partner with the Foundation?

The Foundation has an immensely proud tradition of making positive impacts through philanthropy, strong leadership and most importantly, action. I knew that they would be excellent partners and make sure the gifts made it into the right hands and in an expeditious fashion, which is exactly what occurred.

You encouraged the Foundation to raise additional funds to match your $500,000 lead gift. Is that something that you often do with your philanthropy, to encourage others to join you?

It was more so just letting people know of the program and how they could offer assistance. I know that human nature is to want to help, and that was simply pointing them in the right direction as to how they could be of assistance in the most expeditious manner.

I was heartened to see and hear of their generosity. It was truly a team effort, which speaks to our community and the goodness that exists within it.

GAYLE BENSON Civic Leader & Owner of New Orleans Saints & New Orleans Pelicans

The Saints promoted giving to the fund as part of last summer’s rebroadcast of the Saints vs. Falcons 2006 game that reopened the Superdome. People were giving $9 in honor of Drew Brees, $37 in honor of Steve Gleason, $41 in honor of Alvin Kamara. What did you think of that?

That speaks to the unique connections the players of the Saints have forged with the supporters of the team. It goes back to the formation of the franchise, and there are many stories that illustrate that. The fans appreciate what they do for our region and what they mean to the community and they genuinely appreciate them and it’s a unique form of support that provides assistance to those in need. I know the players love to hear the stories and it buoys and inspires them as well. It’s the epitome of a two-way street.

Did you ever imagine that funding for the program would reach over $1.8M? What does that say about our community?

It simply illustrates the kindness and compassion of the residents of this great state and being able to share the blessings bestowed upon us.

“The Foundation has an immensely proud tradition of making positive impacts through philanthropy, strong leadership and most importantly, action. I knew that they would be excellent partners and make sure the gifts made it into the right hands and in an expeditious fashion, which is exactly what occurred.”

Fast, Responsive Aid After Hurricane Ida

The Friday before Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana, as the region braced to respond to the quickly developing storm, our leadership team gathered at the Foundation offices. We know that our communities and our donors rely on us to act in times of disasters. We prepare to respond to a crisis before it hits—and when it does, we follow the protocol we’ve developed over years of experience.

ALWAYS READY

Our disaster response strategy provides a roadmap not just for moments of crisis, but for preparing to confront them. As hurricane season began, we hosted a hurricane preparedness workshop with 75 local nonprofits so they could develop their own response plans. We were joined by the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness as well as local emergency management offices from New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, and St. Tammany Parish, who offered critical expertise. We also pre-registered over 20 organizations from across Southeast Louisiana to receive expedited grants for disaster response in case of emergency.

In the wake of disaster, we are strategic, efficient, impactful, and compassionate.

BEFORE THE STORM

When, in the end of August, it became clear that Hurricane Ida was headed for our region, we sprung into action. On Friday, August 27th, we got in touch with local leaders like New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng. Some colleagues in philanthropy, such as the Kresge Foundation, contacted us directly, understanding the threat that Ida presented to the region and wanting to hear the Foundation’s plans. They committed to a generous gift.

As soon as President Biden approved Governor Edwards’ request for a Federal Declaration of Emergency for Louisiana, we activated our Disaster Response and Restoration Fund. This allowed us to provide funding for groups that were ready to jump in the moment the hurricane passed. Using our knowledge of the nonprofit sector and experience from past disasters, we made $50,000 in grants to well-established organizations that we knew were responding right away: the Second Harvest Food Bank, the American Red Cross of Louisiana, Team Rubicon, VIA LINK, and World Central Kitchen. They would offer food and medical aid, disaster cleanup, and a phone hotline to connect residents to more resources.

QUICK ACTION

These early grants meant that when the hurricane did hit, the military veterans of Team Rubicon could begin heavy-duty disaster cleanup right away. It meant that the chefs of World Central Kitchen could immediately set up a staging area at the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute next door to the Foundation offices. We soon let them take over our parking lot, and they were quickly preparing 20,000 to 30,000 meals each day to distribute at dozens of sites across our region.

Meanwhile, our team kept working. We leveraged our strong relationships across the state — from the Governor’s office to nonprofits, local leaders, first responders, and community groups large and small—to understand what folks needed most. We heard directly from a bayou area community aid group that had never done disaster relief before, but was gathering food and supplies to stage for pick-up for the many people left without water, power, and sufficient shelter. Some were living in a tent, car, or camper in their front yard. We visited a distillery that had been transformed into a food bank. We connected with pastors as they scooped hot meals with their congregation. We met a brother-sister pair who had filled a school gym with large plastic buckets of resources for folks to take home. We spoke to partners in the United Houma Nation who were serving meals from their community center and managing complex supply distributions, even as there were holes in the roof of their headquarters and debris on their floor.

We offered care and resources, made connections across our networks, and personally delivered the news of grants. We also tended to the relationships we have built over many years. We wanted to assure them that we had their backs.

Our community of donors was energized, even as many of them were coping with the impact of Ida themselves. We received major gifts from the Baltimore Ravens in partnership with The Stephen & Renee Bisciotti Foundation as well as from the Atlanta Falcons via the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. Mrs. Gayle Benson generously matched our first two rounds of post-hurricane grants, and within five days of the storm, we had raised $2 million. Because our disaster response strategy is so well-honed, and our existing relationships with nonprofits are so strong, we were able to put those funds to use right away. We knew the nonprofits who needed the most support didn’t have electricity to charge computers, or internet to connect to even if they had it. Instead of requiring an initial grant application, we relied on our strong relationships with nonprofits and local elected officials to target the most pressing needs across our communities. We also relied on

their relationships with one another; when the leader of one nonprofit or local official told us about another doing good work, we trusted them. We got them funding quickly, which enabled them to get resources like food, water, ice, tarps, and building supplies to their communities quickly. Then we reached back out a few weeks later for more formal conversations and brief applications that could be filled out from a phone.

Less than two weeks after the storm, we traveled to the Bayou region ourselves, bringing supplies and meeting with community leaders, clergy, and nonprofits. We heard their stories, saw their operations firsthand, and were able to tell them in person that they would be receiving grants ranging from $10,000 to $125,000 dollars, depending on the scope of their work and impact. We followed up with a trip to the River Parishes soon after.

CONTINUED NEED, GENEROSITY, AND SUPPORT

Within a few months of the storm, we had raised over $7 million from more than 1,300 individuals, with a major gift from the Kresge Foundation and generous matching funds from the Dick J. Guidry Fund and Mrs. Gayle Benson. The Foundation had distributed over $5 million, nearly 40% of which went to organizations led by people of color.

“We relied on our strong relationships with nonprofits and local elected officials to target the most pressing needs across our communities. We also relied on their relationships with one another; when the leader of one nonprofit or local official told us about another doing good work, we trusted them.”

These nonprofits have already accomplished so much, but our work remains unfinished. We know recovery can take years, and rebuilding to withstand future disasters requires funding and expertise. We will not abandon our communities in the hardest-hit regions of Southeast Louisiana; we stay involved long after the last power truck restores electricity. We will keep delivering grants as they are needed, and we will learn from these efforts to strengthen our strategies going forward. If community leaders want to transform grassroots efforts into more formal nonprofits, we can help. We will welcome them into our Nonprofit Leadership and Effectiveness programming. This can guide them into the institutional benefits of nonprofit status while helping them maintain the energy and spirit that launched their work.

As we connect with nonprofits, we are neighbors before we are program officers. We listen and build real relationships, as people, with those who have been most affected and who are doing the hardest work. Then, fueled by the generosity and compassion of our donors, we act. We show up for our nonprofits—and we stay.

Supporting Organizations

Supporting Organizations at the Greater New Orleans Foundation play an important role in addressing the greatest challenges of the region. Supporting Organizations are separate nonprofit organizations with IRS tax-exempt status. They have a separate board of directors, manage their own investments, and award their own grants. With professional management and oversight of all aspects of the supporting foundation’s administrative, investment, and grantmaking activities performed by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, donors and their families can concentrate on philanthropic interests without worrying about the details.

Disaster Response & Restoration Fund

Contributions to our Disaster Response & Restoration Fund enable the Foundation to mobilize and support a network of voluntary and community organizations active in disasters whose expertise is deployed locally, nationally, and internationally. We also honor the tradition of “paying it forward” by coordinating with a network of community foundations when disaster strikes other communities to get immediate support to the most vulnerable citizens. Our Disaster Response and Restoration Fund provides immediate relief as well as long-term rebuilding support.

Donor-advised funds – An efficient charitable giving strategy

One of the simplest and most tax-advantageous ways to give is through a donor-advised fund (DAF), which is the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the U.S.

You can contribute appreciated stocks and other securities directly to the DAF, rather than selling the securities first, paying capital gains taxes, and then contributing the proceeds.

When you fund a DAF with low-cost basis stock you get a double tax break: A full upfront tax deduction of the value of the gift, and you do not pay capital gains taxes on the appreciation. The assets in your DAF also have the potential to grow tax-free over time.

Giving with stocks and other securities to a DAF instead of directly to a charity will make it easier to spread your gifts to more charities over a longer time period. You can make your contribution now, then have unlimited amount of time to decide which charities to support. Think of it as your personal “charitable checking account” from which you can make donations to causes you care about for years to come.

DONOR-ADVISED FUND (DAF) EXAMPLE

SCENARIO BENEFITS

1. In August 2011, an investor buys 1,000 shares of POOL Corp. at $25 per share for a $25,000 investment.

2. In August 2021, the 1,000 shares are worth $475,000, or $475 per share, and the investor has an unrealized capital gain of $450,000.

3. In August 2021, the investor donates 100 of the 1,000 shares at $475, or $47,500, to a DAF.

• Investment gain: $45,000 ($47,500 - $2,500)

• Estimated capital gains taxes avoided: $9,000 (20% x $45,000)

• Taxes Due: $0

• Tax deduction: $47,500

• Able to distribute the full $47,500 – give what you want, when you want

• Not a private foundation, so no 5% annual distribution rule

As Board Chairs of the Greater New Orleans Foundation during the past two years, it has been our responsibility to ensure the work we are doing has a meaningful impact. We can see that impact in numbers—people fed, families supported, homes repaired. We track the astounding generosity in resources that our philanthropic community has contributed, and the number of families and individuals who have made this Foundation a part of their lasting legacy. We can see it in the long hours that Andy Kopplin and his phenomenal team put into their work.

And while that data from the last two years is stunning, the Foundation’s impact had been clear even before we looked at the numbers. It was clear because of the stories we’d heard from the Foundation’s team— stories like the ones you have read in this report. Because you supported the Foundation, those who were medically vulnerable received meal deliveries when they couldn’t leave the house. Because you supported the Foundation, nonprofits and dedicated volunteers in the Bayou Region and River Parishes could carry cleaning supplies, water, food, diapers, and more to folks who had lost everything in Hurricane Ida. Because you supported the Foundation, restaurant workers could pay medical bills. Because you supported the Foundation, Black-led nonprofits had new capacity to support entrepreneurs, run youth programs, fight for affordable housing, and push for racial justice.

This work is urgent, and it will remain so for a long time. The impacts of COVID-19, climate change, and racial inequity will not disappear overnight. But like our communities, the Foundation is determined, creative, and persistent. We love our people. We love our region. And, when times are tough, we pull people together and work harder than before.

With great thanks,

LEANN O. MOSES Board Chair, Greater New Orleans Foundation 2019-2021

BOBBY BORIES Board Chair, Greater New Orleans Foundation 2021-2023
