Supporting Louisiana’s Future
For 100 years, HTB has succeeded thanks to the support of our Louisiana communities. To honor this century of service and commitment throughout the state, The 1924 Fund was established, endowed at the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, to support community development opportunities. The fund will focus on strengthening educational pursuits, cultural enrichment, and resilient family connections. Through targeted distributions, the fund will directly benefit local nonprofits in the communities where HTB operates, including Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Denham Springs, Hammond and New Orleans.
2025 Grant Applications
2025 Grant Applications are now open from August 15 – September 30, 2025. We encourage all eligible 501(c)(3) organizations serving Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Denham Springs, Hammond, and New Orleans to apply.
If your nonprofit organization aligns with the fund’s focus areas of education, culture, and/or family resilience, we invite you to be considered for support from The 1924 Fund.
