2023 Louisiana Culture Care Fund Recipients
The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities has awarded $425,000 in general operating grants from the Louisiana Culture Care Fund (LCCF) to 45 humanities organizations in 26 parishes. The LCCF originally launched in 2020 in an effort to help mitigate impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s fund, with support from the State of Louisiana, continues to provide Louisiana’s cultural nonprofits with this vital funding.
The funds will help organizations remain financially solvent by supporting operational expenses such as staff payroll and benefits, rent, mortgage, insurance, and utilities. The grants were awarded to 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural organizations, public libraries, and state and federally recognized Tribes with strong humanities focus, such as museums, historic sites, and archives, as well as the state’s diverse array of humanities-focused media, festivals, and more. Awards ranged between $5,000 and $15,000.
Organizations receiving grants span the farthest corners of the state, from Cameron to Caddo Parishes and East Carroll to Lafourche Parishes. See below for the full list of LCCF grant recipients.
