Since the inception of CLCF, they pulled together many non-profits, and helped the public be aware of their mission, help them raise funds, and publicize their events. By doing so, has raised the community's awareness of what strengths and resources it has.
It has an amazing and loyal Board of Directors and an equally amazing professional staff, led by Tom Harmeyer, who fortunately (for us) lost his home during Hurricane Katrina and evacuated to Alexandria and stayed to become our outstanding executive director of this outstanding organization. He has grown the assets of the Foundation from thousands to millions.
Non-profits invest excess funds, to be used when they need them. Individuals set up personal accounts for the Foundation to distribute as they are directed by the donor to any non-profit. the Foundation also solicits grants and has helped with projects as varied as education, science, the zoo, the museums, the symphony and other music events, plays and other entertainment, a Holocaust Memorial Park, and more. Among its recent new projects, It established Ticket Central, which publicizes events for the public who can reserve or purchase their tickets at no additional charge. It also began the A-plus Quiz Bowl which draws teams from throughout Louisiana.
