mission statement

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.
