For over 40 years, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation has united human and financial resources to enhance the quality of life in Louisiana’s capital region. The Hurricane Katrina Displaced Residents Fund will benefit those individuals evacuated to Baton Rouge from the hurricane impacted areas in Greater New Orleans, who are now unable to return for what maybe an extended period. Support from the Hurricane Katrina Displaced Residents Fund will be disbursed directly to non-profit organizations with the assessed capability to affect the greatest need among evacuees in our area, and allows the Baton Rouge Area Foundation the flexibility to act quickly and decisively.
