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 has been established, endowed by 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.
