Focused Funding. Bold Action. Real Impact.
The Greater New Orleans Funders Network Action Tables are where members join forces to learn, strategize, and fund bold, equity-driven solutions. Co-led by members and guided by community members, Action Tables turn shared values and knowledge into collective funding that strengthens communities across Southeast Louisiana.
Current Action Tables
We aim to be as responsive as possible to current events and needs in Southeast Louisiana. That’s why our members work together to lead Action Tables, create new tables, and choose which tables to participate in to develop their knowledge and pursue collective investment strategies.
Climate Justice
The Climate Justice Action Table brings together funders committed to supporting the communities most affected by environmental and climate injustice. Philanthropy has a vital role to play in ensuring federal and state resources translate into meaningful, community-led progress.
Black Men & Boys
The Black Men & Boys Action Table envisions a prosperous Greater New Orleans where the richness, strengths, and contributions of Black men and boys and Opportunity Youth are valued and all members of society are represented fairly.
Criminal Justice
This Action Table brings together partners to explore cross-sector strategies to reduce the overrepresentation of children, people of color, those with mental illness, and low-income individuals in the justice system; ensure fair and humane treatment for all; and support successful reentry for people returning from incarceration.
Education
The Education Action Table explores opportunities to increase education equity, improve well-being, and create better conditions and outcomes for young people in the city.
Equitable Development
The Equitable Development Action Table explores cross-sector strategies designed to advance inclusive physical development and economic opportunity in the region. Potential work might support improving regional housing choices, preventing displacement, increasing low-income communities’ access to regional opportunities, or advancing a quality work agenda.
Health
The Health Action Table brings together partners to advance equitable access to quality healthcare, protect communities from environmental health risks, and address the root causes of health disparities, especially those impacting marginalized communities across Greater New Orleans.
