Local Foundations Support Posse New Orleans

Winter 2013 | New Orleans

Thanks to the generosity of several local foundations, Posse New Orleans is thriving. Since opening its doors in July 2011, the New Orleans chapter of The Posse Foundation has identified and trained 20 Scholars who have earned $2.8 million in leadership scholarships from Posse partners Bard College and Tulane University.

In addition, this winter Posse New Orleans welcomed 20 new Scholars who will join Posses already on campus in the fall of 2013 and begin reaping the benefits of a first-rate college education.

We are very grateful for the support of the Greater New Orleans community.

The following institutional funders have been crucial to our success:

Baptist Community Ministries
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation
Entergy Charitable Foundation
Hellman Family Foundation
Keller Family Foundation
RosaMary Foundation
