The Bayou Community Foundation will participate in a 24-hour fund drive May for nonprofits in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes and Grand Isle.
In a partnership with the Greater New Orleans Foundation, the local philanthropic organization will host GiveNOLA Day for the Bayou Region.
It coincides with a national philanthropic event called “Give Local America.”
More than 40 local nonprofit community service groups will benefit from donations made online during the drive.
“This is the first ever 24-hour online giving event focused on our nonprofits here in Terrebonne, Lafourche and Grand Isle,” Bayou Community Foundation Coordinator Jennifer Armand said.
A Give Bayou celebration will be held from 10 a.m. This is a great opportunity for many people to do so,” Claudet said.
Organizations that will benefit include the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, Lafourche Arc, the United Houma Nation and the CASA programs that aid abused and neglected children in Terrebonne and Lafourche.
For a full list of the organizations that will benefit locally from GiveNOLA day, visit www.givebayou.org and click on the “Lafourche & Grand Isle” or “Terrebonne” tabs at the top of the page.
To donate, visit www.givenola.org anytime on May 5.
