The Greater New Orleans Foundation administers
similar funds that benefit the region. In 2005, immediately after hurricane Katrina, the Rebuild New
Orleans Fund was established with assets totaling
more than $25 million. After the 2010 Gulf Coast
oil spill, the Greater New Orleans Foundation generated over $1 million in relief for clean-up efforts.
In the past five years, the Foundation has directed
1,200 grants to help storm victims and to provide
critical resources for returning residents home.
