LGBTQ Fund: Over $600K Pledged Toward $2.5M Goal!

November 22, 2019

On Wednesday, November 20, the Greater New Orleans Foundation's endowed LGBTQ Fund took center stage at the home of fundholders Henry Lambert and Carey Bond.

Over 100 people – donors, prospective donors, Greater New Orleans Foundation trustees, LGBTQ Advisory Committee members and friends, gathered together to hear from former trustee, Henry Lambert and current trustee, Arthur Roger.

Mr. Lambert and Mr. Roger shared their excitement about our board’s decision to take the LGBTQ fund from a short-term pilot program to a permanent, endowed, forever source of funding for local LGBTQ-led and LGBTQ-serving nonprofits.

Greater New Orleans Foundation Board chair, Leann Moses, shared the exciting news that over $600,000 has already been pledged toward a mix of current grantmaking and permanent grantmaking through the LGBTQ initiative.
