Description
The GNOF Exxon-Mobil Fund is a donor-advised fund of the Greater New Orleans Foundation that aims to improve quality of life for people in St. Bernard Parish and a designated portion of Algiers. It considers requests across all program areas within these geographic boundaries, rather than focusing on a single field. An advisory committee of business and civic leaders reviews grant requests annually.
The fund supports new, creative, or beneficial programs and capital projects involving new construction or major renovations. It also provides seed money to establish organizations responding to important community opportunities and bridge grants to sustain organizations experiencing financial hardship. Priority is given to nonprofits based in St. Bernard Parish or Algiers, though organizations serving these communities are also considered.
