SUMMARY:2025 Scott Griffin Award Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:2025 Scott Griffin Award Applications Deadline: August 8\nCommunity Foundation of North Louisiana will accept applications for the annual G. Scott Griffin Award starting July 21\, 2025. The award\, which features a cash prize of $1\,000\, will be given to a local artist who has contributed to the community through his or her art while overcoming adversity. \nThe deadline for entries is August 8 at 5:00 PM. The guidelines are available here. Individuals can apply through CFNLA’s scholarship portal. \nThe award is named in honor of G. Scott Griffin\, who was a multidisciplinary\, multimedia artist with accomplishments in musical composition\, instrumental performance\, photography\, and film. Because of these achievements\, it was often unrecognized that Griffin overcame many adversities in the execution of his art. From his childhood\, Griffin coped with a visual handicap\, congenital nystagmus\, which would have been the reason for most talented artists to cease performing. Rather than giving up his artistic dreams\, Griffin invited his audiences to join him on a journey of discovery and beauty that was possible through the lens of his camera and his varied canvases. His legendary music enchanted listeners because he played from the heart and not by sight. \nGriffin died of complications related to cancer on October 7\, 2007\, at the age of 45. The Scott Griffin Fund was created at the Community Foundation to keep his memory alive and to honor those artists who approach their art and life with the same passion and persistence as Griffin. \nPast recipients include: Susan Duke\, Cathy Cobb\, Ian Quiet\, Larry Sanchez\, Aaron Cox\, Bertha Cooper Harris\, Angelique Feaster-Evans\, Poetic X\, Carlos Colón\, Buddy Flett\, Bobby Darrow\, Matthew Cipolla\, Mary “ML” Dumars\, and Maudie Bryant. \n\nAll applications must be submitted by 5:00 PM on Friday\, August 8 at 5:00 pm. Apply through CFNLA’s scholarship portal.

SUMMARY:WPN 2025-26 Membership Dues Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2005\, the Women’s Philanthropy Network (WPN) was established as a way for local women of all generations and philanthropic capacity to leverage their charitable giving to address pressing issues in the community. To accomplish this\, members pool their annual dues to make a high-impact grant to a local nonprofit focusing on education initiatives. The WPN also hosts educational programs to keep members informed about our community. Since its inception\, the WPN has granted over $1.7 million to educational initiatives in our community! \nThe membership year begins on July 1\, 2025\, and concludes on June 30\, 2026. To vote on the 2026 WPN grant\, dues must be paid by March 31\, 2026. (Dues received after March 31st are applied to membership for the following year.) \nAs a CFNLA fund\, WPN grants are funded through a combination of annual dues and the WPN endowment fund. Specifically\, 80% of a WPN member’s dues are allocated to the grant pool while 20% is invested in the WPN endowment. Each year\, the growing WPN endowment returns 4% of its market value to the grant pool\, resulting in a larger grant than dues alone would provide. The WPN endowment is currently valued at over $600\,000. \nWPN members have the opportunity to vote on the WPN grantee at the Annual Meeting held in May. Members will also be acknowledged in the Community Foundation’s Annual Report\, receive invitations to special events\, and connect with other women dedicated to improving education for children in Caddo Parish. \nLearn More or Become A Member.
