During Give For Good, everyone is a philanthropist. The online giving event is an interactive and exciting 24-hour online giving challenge led by Community Foundation of North Louisiana. This day of giving raises thousands of unrestricted dollars for North Louisiana organizations and brings community members together to celebrate nonprofits and the important work they do in our community.
In 2024, over $2.94 million was raised during Give For Good and went directly to nonprofit organizations. These funds came from more than 9,000 gifts and were distributed to 222 organizations. On top of these donations, nonprofits could also grow their pool by capturing a portion of our $230,000 Lagniappe Fund and competing for over $20,000 in prizes.
The Lagniappe Fund is a pool of bonus dollars that is used to grow organizations’ gifts. The Community Foundation secures these funds to be shared by all participating nonprofits receiving donations during Give For Good.
Since its inception in 2014, Give For Good has raised over $22 million to support our communities’ local nonprofits!
