The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy has presented the Foundation for Louisiana with a 2017 Impact Mover and Shaker Award.
The community foundation was honored for using its influence and expertise to address critical issues in the state and cited for its leadership role in the removal of Confederate monuments in Louisiana between May and June. It also was cited for its participation in the Louisiana Justice Reinvestment Task Force, which was able to pass state legislation to slash the prison population and reinvest $154 million into programs to reduce crime and recidivism.
