FROM THE PUBLISHER

A guide to investing in our community

ROLFE MCCOLLISTER JR. AFTER THE HISTORIC flooding that devastated our community in August, the silver lining was the way people stepped up, came together, and gave of their time and treasure to help those in need. Our community showed both resilience and character.

Of course, we all know that many of our charities and nonprofits operate yearround to serve in similar ways. We don’t want to forget about these wonderful organizations.

On Nov. 15, Americans celebrated National Philanthropy Day. The Association of Fundraising Professionals of Greater Baton Rouge hosted a luncheon at the Renaissance Hotel to celebrate and honor local philanthropists. inRegister magazine, which features charitable events and philanthropic leaders throughout the year, was proud to be a presenting sponsor for this event. The 2016 honorees are featured on page 9. We salute them and all of those individuals and companies in the Capital Region who give generously to help others and build our community.

The end of the year is a time when many will traditionally make donation decisions for the year—or budget for the next year.

This unique publication concept of a “giving guide” can be helpful to you, our readers, as you or your company plan your own philanthropy.

Greater Baton Rouge Business Report GIVING GUIDE | 2016-2017

This guide provides key information on many of the nonprofits in the Baton Rouge area and what they are doing. Inside, they share details on their mission, funding, projects, services, events and leadership.

We hope it will be helpful to you in deciding where you choose to donate and invest your money.

As shown so clearly in August, Louisiana has always been about the goodness and kindness of neighbors, friends and family—who help others in time of crisis or just with everyday needs. We are there for one another.

Much of that help comes from the many nonprofits, charities and institutions of learning supported by the generosity of donors and volunteers—like you. These groups play a critical role in our community and improve the quality of life for us all—every day.

Like you, we believe in giving back to support nonprofits and our community.

We offer this space to agencies at less than half our regular rates. That was one of the ways we could contribute to them—and provide valuable information to you from many organizations in the Capital Region.

There are 33 organizations featured inside.

Our company and staff at Business Report, 225, inRegister and 10/12 Industry Report appreciate the generous people of the Capital Region and the wonderful nonprofits and charities who help so many.

Thank you.

We also want to thank our sponsors for this publication, Our Lady of the Lake Foundation and Capital Area United Way. We hope you find it helpful as you step forward and help others.

Sincerely,

FROM THE SPONSORS

Coming together to overcome

JOHN PAUL FUNES President Our Lady of the Lake Foundation

THE ENORMITY of the August flooding has significantly altered our community and the way it looks today, but that change doesn’t have to be for the worse. All across the region, people are coming together to overcome—whether it’s a stranger who donates much needed goods, a neighbor who helps remove damaged furniture, or that coworker, who, although lost everything, still manages to give a hug. The rains may have damaged our homes, but they can’t dampen our resolve.

This past February, we realized a longtime vision of the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System when we broke ground on the freestanding Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital.

This iconic structure will soon be visible on the south side of I-10 eastbound between Essen and Bluebonnet and will serve as a premier destination for high-quality, advanced medical care for children within a

statewide network of pediatric excellence.

The new hospital will help us further support community pediatricians throughout the state and provide specialty care in outreach clinics in Monroe, Gonzales, Hammond and Lafayette.

Your support of Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital gives you the opportunity to be part of an amazing change and have a profound impact on Louisiana’s children.

A healthy child will grow into a healthy adult who will have the chance to contribute to a better Louisiana. Please join us in this historic effort to be part of transformative change in health care for children.

Impact driven by you— our community

GEORGE BELL President and CEO Capital Area United Way

THE YEAR 2016 has certainly been one for the history books. While our community mourned the loss of a community member and three police officers, we were hit with a 1,000-year flood that impacted every one of us in some way. Thousands lost their homes and continue to be displaced while we begin to rebuild. In the midst of this strife, when it may have been easier to give up, we have seen our friends and neighbors rise to the occasion to support one another and begin to rebuild. Together. It has never been more apparent that our community is stronger when we join together than it has been over the last few months.

At Capital Area United Way, we know that we can achieve more for our community when we work together as one community, one people. We have been fortunate enough to serve the Capital Region for the last 91 years, and we have always invested your donations in programs that are making a difference for the people who live here. This year, we implemented a new way of doing business that allows us to achieve more, help local individuals and families in a more meaningful way and truly puts people in a position to recognize and achieve their full potential.

We accomplish this by investing donated resources in programs and partnerships that have significant impact within our community focusing on five areas: education, income stability, health, basic needs and communitylevel strategies. This new way of doing business is called Community Impact, and it is driven by you—our community.

Our goal is to move the needle by creating a ripple of real change that not only touches lives today, but impacts the future of our community for generations to come.

Your support of Capital Area United Way gives you the opportunity to make an impact on our community’s most pressing issues.

Each of us makes 35,000 decisions each day, and today we’re asking you to make just one in support of Capital Area United Way. Please join us by giving, advocating or volunteering. It’s the one decision that can make all the difference in the world.

INTRODUCTION

PHILANTHROPY IS “the love of humankind,” and National Philanthropy Day® is the day that thousands of people around the world come together to both put that word into action and to recognize the change that word has brought to our communities. In short, NPD is a celebration of philanthropy— giving, volunteering and charitable engagement—that highlights the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy—and all those involved in the philanthropic process—brings to our society.

National Philanthropy Day® is both an official day and a grassroots movement to increase public interest and awareness of the importance of philanthropy, as well as knowledge on giving, volunteering and engagement at the charitable level. Every year since 1986 when President Ronald Reagan first proclaimed Nov. 15 as National Philanthropy Day®, communities have celebrated by hosting events to recognize the activities of donors, volunteers, foundations, leaders and corporations engaged in philanthropy.

While many people show interest in giving or getting involved, they often need a reminder about nonprofit needs and need to be inspired by stories of success. NPD spurs action by providing ways for people to connect with causes and each other—so they can be inspired by what others are doing and create their own ideas for philanthropic engagement.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals is founder of the NPD movement, and we work with organizations that support philanthropy and charitable engagement. Since its inception in 1960, AFP has been helping nonprofits and charities and supporting fundraising efforts around the world that have generated more than $1 trillion.

The Greater Baton Rouge Chapter of AFP has been in existence since 1989. Through the commitment of the AFP members, the chapter is flourishing today with more than 120 members serving in nonprofit development fields.

Our goal is to engage every citizen in Louisiana to take an active role in creating happy, healthy childhoods for our state’s children. From learning about child development through our Family Nurturing Center, asking for help on our KIDLINE, learning how to protect children from sexual abuse through Stewards of Children or planting a Pinwheel during Child Abuse Prevention month, there is a role for everyone to play.

Healthy Futures Start Early in Childhood Did you know that 80% of brain growth happens in the first three years of life? Because of that, it is crucial that every child has a chance to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.

The best chance for a child to have a healthy future is for there to be no abuse or neglect - through a dedicated focus on prevention, including stopping negative behaviors and promoting positive ones. Prevention programs improve a child’s life, support family well-being and promote a healthier and more productive nation.

Throughout April, Child Abuse Prevention Month, PCA Louisiana works to raise awareness for child abuse prevention. Pinwheels for Prevention is a call to action for the community to get involved in creating healthy, happy childhoods, because our children are Louisiana’s future.

FOR OVER 60 years, The Arc of Louisiana’s priority has been to educate policymakers, people with intellectual disabilities, families, service providers and the greater community on best practices and issues that impact the community we serve. We promote selfadvocacy through People First of Louisiana, a program supported by The Arc. Together, our goal is to advocate and create opportunities for people and their families to have choice as

they live in the community. We invest in and support home and community-based services.

Access to these services has been proven to enhance independence and integration in the community for people with disabilities. Most importantly, these services make it possible for individuals to live, work, learn, participate and contribute to the community of their choosing.

FUNDRAISING/EVENTS EVERY YEAR THE Arc of Louisiana holds an awards banquet where we recognize the efforts of individuals within our community and state who, through their dedication and commitment, have enhanced the lives of persons with developmental and intellectual disabilities. This event is a celebration of the selflessness and achievements of individuals who help others.

“I came to ALA to better my reading ability and to be able to be selfsufficient. Now, instead of just looking at a book, I can read it better.

ALA has helped me to see how the world looks through books. I can now comprehend and understand how the world works.”

-ALA Senior Scholars Student “The teachers at ALA will encourage you, push you, and open up the world to you. When I started, it seemed hard and I thought I would never be able to learn again. It had been so long since I was in school. In the process, I lost those fears. I am doing things I dared not do before.”

OUR SINGULAR GOAL is to provide adaptive bikes to children with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, Battens Disease, Charge Syndrome, Down Syndrome and chromosomal abnormalities of every description. These bikes help the children build critical core strength as well as confidence and inclusion.

The foundation has provided over 200 bikes in the last nine years. These bikes range in cost from $800 to over $5,000. The demand for these bikes is endless. We currently have 300 children on our waiting list. Our immediate goal is to get each of these children riding their own adaptive bike as soon as possible.

ANDREW MCLINDON ANN MCLINDON President

Vice President

100% OF ALL funds raised are used to purchase these adaptive bikes, which the foundation purchases at significant discount from the bike manufacturers. All donations are tax deductible. Once a child outgrows a bike, the foundation picks it up, cleans it up and gets the bike into the hands of another deserving child. The foundation then provides a new, larger bike to the first child to keep them riding. (We have bikes on their fourth child and many children on their second bike.)

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of MFF is to provide adaptive bikes to special needs children so that they can build critical core strength, boost confidence and nurture friendships, all of which help these children maximize their potential and participation in society.

SERVICE AREA MFF has a very strong presence in Baton Rouge and the surrounding area as well as throughout all of south Louisiana.

Additionally, we have bikes placed in 27 states. Donors making contributions to MFF can identify a particular family, pediatric rehabilitation facility or city or state that they would like their gift to be directed towards.

TOP FUNDING SOURCES 20%

Corporate

WHAT STARTED OUT 9 years ago as a “Bikes for Christmas” project quickly turned into a yearround endeavor. All of our funding comes from individuals and corporations who are passionate about seeing these special children experience the right of passage of every child–riding their own bike. Groups including schools, health clubs, car dealerships, groups of friends, etc. have joined together to fund a bike for a child. Many bike presentations have been made at the place of business of the donor groups making for a very special charitable event. Donations can be made in honor or memory of a loved one or directed to a specific family in need of an adaptive bike.

OPEN HEALTH CARE CLINIC’S 2017 fundraising goal is to raise the money to purchase and retrofit a Mobile Dental Unit to serve the entire East Baton Rouge Parish community. The campaign is called Open Wide and would provide preventive and diagnostic dental care for adults and children right here in our community. Dental services are a seriously unmet need among adults and pediatric patients here in Baton Rouge. Open Wide will bring these essential services to our neighbors right in our neighborhoods. East Baton Rouge’s low-income population faces particularly high barriers to accessing oral health care including provider shortages, lack of insurance coverage, transportation limitations and language barriers. Good oral health is more than just a cosmetic concern. Among children, dental problems are associated with poor self-image and feelings of worthlessness, as well as poor attendance at and performance in school. In adults, chronic oral infections are linked to a multitude of diseases including heart disease

and diabetes, while missing and malformed teeth prevent otherwise qualified candidates from finding work. In pregnant women, inadequate oral health care is associated with prematurity and low birth weight. Open Wide will help prevent these adverse health conditions by meeting our community where we live and work and play. And while OHCC is out in the community taking care of people’s smiles, we will offer health screenings for other acute and chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as providing essential vaccines and health literacy and educational opportunities to everyone who calls our community home. With your financial support, we can help give everyone in our community a brighter, whiter, healthier smile and the confidence to approach life’s challenges with their hearts and minds—and mouths—Open Wide. Individuals and companies can help support this goal by making a contribution to OHCC’s Open Wide Campaign.

Now that ’s amazing.

Fifteen-year-old Joy Sutton (center) knows something about being amazing. After sepsis almost took her life, a team of more than 17 specialists at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital worked together to save her. This is exactly why our new freestanding children’s hospital is so important to our community and state. We want to do amazing things for all children when they need it most.
