The Foundation also hosted a tour of non-profits for donors, the Bayou Region Nonprofit Conference, the Bayou Region Hunger Summitt and a workshop on legal and financial compliance to strengthen the operational capacity and effectiveness of local non-profits.
In 2023, Bayou Community Foundation awarded grants to 32 nonprofits working in Lafourche, Terrebonne and Grand Isle as part of the Foundations 2023 Annual Nonprofit Grants Program. The program helps to fill unmet needs in the community related to human services, education, workforce development and coastal awareness.
