The Special Projects Grants provide funding of up to $100,000 for Louisiana-based nonprofit organizations aiming to increase their community impact in areas related to health or overall community well-being. These grants are intended to assist organizations in completing a previously funded project or expanding or initiating new efforts that address identified needs supported by solid data.

Grants are awarded for a one-year term, disbursed in a single payment, and do not require matched funds. Eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) nonprofits based in Louisiana. Organizations interested in applying must first submit an online Letter of Intent (LOI) by one of the quarterly deadlines: March 1, June 1, September 1, or December 1, using the Smartsimple platform.

This funding opportunity is ideal for organizations that have a clear strategy for scaling impact and addressing critical health or community needs within Louisiana.
