Greater Funding, Greater New Orleans
GNOFN coordinates philanthropy to ensure that investments in Southeast Louisiana result in impacted communities having the cultural, political, and social power to influence the decisions that affect their lives.
Powering Local Change through Shared Action
The Greater New Orleans Funders Network brings funders together to build a stronger, more just Southeast Louisiana. We envision a future where community leaders shape solutions and systems work for everyone. We partner with local residents, nonprofits, and policymakers to move resources, shift power, and ensure lasting change from the ground up and the top down.
