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 family wellness initiatives. 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.
2026 Grant Applications Will Reopen This Fall
Thank you to everyone who applied for support from The 1924 Fund. We’re honored to learn about your efforts in education, culture, and family wellness across Louisiana. Applications are now closed. Please check back in the fall for details on the next application cycle.
