Grants for Nonprofits in Louisiana
Louisiana has no central grants list. The Department of Agriculture and Forestry keeps a directory of funding for farming, forestry, firefighting and food access, and the Louisiana Division of the Arts awards grants in every region of the state, working with regional arts councils that administer its funding for local arts projects.
GrantCue reads the agriculture directory, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, and funding from the City of New Orleans and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority. For a local arts project, the regional arts council that serves the applicant's area is the place to start.
