New Orleans, Louisiana

Director, Greater New Orleans Funders Network

The Organization

 The Greater New Orleans Funders Network (GNOFN) was founded on August 29, 2015, following the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and 5th anniversary of the BP Oil Spill and the recognition that despite over $1 billion in philanthropic investment, disparities had only deepened in New Orleans across every spectrum, including education, economic development, healthcare and housing—particularly within Black, Indigenous, Latinx and Asian communities, and compared to counterpart white communities. Key local grant makers, like the Foundation for Louisiana, and national funders, like the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, launched GNOFN to center the values of equity and justice through a platform for philanthropic partners to increase resources and build power for communities of color in Greater New Orleans. 

What we believe is that investments can be strategically deployed to help people build power and the people themselves can build a more equitable and a more just community. We must trust and invest in folks who are closest to the problem as they will be the ones to have the solutions. We also acknowledge that it is our own institutional biases and prejudices that have indoctrinated us to overwhelmingly support white-led nonprofits. Color-blind grantmaking, even when grounded in a well-meaning attempt at equity, is the crux of the problem. Strategic philanthropy through a restorative justice lens recognizes the source and the cost of this accumulation of wealth and radically shifts wealth and power to the communities most impacted by extractive capitalism and white supremacy. GNOFN recognizes the need for more strategic philanthropic investments that radically shift wealth redistribution in New Orleans and beyond. We must change how power is wielded by re-examining the use of power and authority in philanthropic systems and organizational hierarchies and aim toward power with others rather than power over others. 

In this movement moment, this moment of racial uprising in our country, all institutions are going to have to be accountable to the communities they seek to serve. At the Greater New Orleans Funders Network, we’re trying to test out new models for philanthropic investments that center community needs. For example, we created a participatory grant-making process wherein grantees came in, they told us what they needed and what they planned to do. We then documented what they said and submitted the document as their grant proposal. They just had to show up and have that conversation. We’ve also used our bully pulpit, our influence, our access to open doors for the folks who are directly impacted by these problems.
