FROM THE PUBLISHER
Generosity makes a difference NOVEMBER IS traditionally a time to count our blessings— and an appropriate time to publish our annual Giving Guide, which shines a spotlight on the many organizations who make a difference Rolfe McCollister, Jr. in the lives of our community. This year, we highlight the outstanding contributions of more than 30 organizations that embody the virtues of compassion, charity, hope and love. 2021 has had its challenges just as 2020 did, but philanthropy (literally, the “love of mankind”) was evident everywhere with acts of kindness and offers of support for those affected by not just the ongoing pandemic, but the damages caused by Hurricane Ida. We hope this publication will be helpful to you as you plan your own philanthropy for the year-end and for 2022. We hope you will connect with a cause that speaks to your heart. For your convenience,
you can click on our website (inRegister.com/ GIVE), browse the nonprofits and click to donate. You are also invited to participate in 225 GIVES, an online fundraising campaign that takes place in conjunction with National Giving Tuesday on November 30. (See page 9.) Finally, we want to congratulate those special individuals who will be honored by the Greater Baton Rouge chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals when it celebrates its 31st National Philanthropy Day (NPD) on Tuesday, Nov. 9. inRegister magazine is proud to again serve as a presenting sponsor for the virtual event. And special thanks to our sponsors this year—East Baton Rouge Parish Library and Walk-On’s Game On Foundation, who have both helped make The Giving Guide possible.

225GIVES unites the Capital Region through collective giving NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS in the Capital Region are invited to participate in 225GIVES, a special 24-hour online fundraising competition that will take place on Tuesday, November 30 (National Giving Tuesday). Launched last year, 225 GIVES is presented by Capital Area United Way, and raised $2.8 million last year. “The inaugural 225GIVES left a huge impact on the community, and it assisted in connecting donors to local nonprofits during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said George Bell, president and CEO of Capital Area United Way. “We are excited to have this event again this year. Even though we encourage the community to support local nonprofits throughout the year, this initiative allows for year-round engagement, culminating in the largest single-day
giving event in our area.” The goal this year is to generate $2.25 million for area nonprofits. Prizes will be given throughout the day for several accomplishments, including most dollars raised, most unique donors, etc. In addition, foundations, corporations, and philanthropists may contribute to the Challenge Fund that will provide a proportional share of the donations received by every nonprofit that raises a minimum of $225. To participate, go to www.225GIVES.org on Tuesday, Nov. 30 to donate. This year, Early Bird Giving is available for two weeks, from November 15-29. For more information and details of last year’s campaign, contact Amey Crousillac at 225GIVES@CAUW.org.

SPENCER WATTS Library Director, East Baton Rouge Parish Library
BRANDON LANDRY Founder, Walk-On’s Game On Foundation
SM
Free tools and resources for our community The East Baton Rouge Parish Library offers a variety of resources for nonprofit organizations at the Grants Center. Amazingly, 90% of domestic foundations don’t have a website. Foundation Directory Online and iWave, only available at the new River Center Branch Library, give you access to these hard-to-find funders, plus the most effective tools to organize and manage your foundation fundraising process. Our Grants Librarian can assist you with your search, whether you are a grant-seeker, grant-maker, or just curious about the grants process. For an appointment, call 225.389.4964. We also host free programs periodically for grant seekers. The Library also offers a variety of FREE tools that can help nonprofit organizations assess and strengthen their business model, perform needs assessments, research funding opportunities, locate community partners and provide skills training and workforce development for staff. These resources are available FREE 24/7 in the Digital Library. A consultation via Small Business Services (SmallBusiness@ebrpl. com) will help your group create an effective strategy, whether it’s enhancing your own skills as a grant seeker, writing a business plan, getting reliable and relevant local statistics, or finding out about potential corporate funders. All you need is your Library card!
Taking care of our people Walk-On’s has succeeded since 2003 because of relationships and taking care of our people (teammates and guests) in the Baton Rouge community. That rings true in the work we do through the Walk-On’s Game On Foundation as well. Our mission has always been supporting youth sports in our communities—but unprecedented times call for swift action—and that’s what our team does best. In 2020, we activated our Furlough Kitchen through the foundation, which fed furloughed workers (no matter their employer) more than 30,000 meals across six states. In the past two hurricane seasons, our teams activated seven relief kitchens in affected areas and served more than 13,000 meals. Whether building courts, feeding furloughed workers, or gathering essentials for displaced hurricane evacuees—we lean on our strengths to help our communities. And it’s something we’ll never stop doing.

SUPPORTING YOUTH ATHLETICS The Walk-On’s Game On Foundation is inspired by our roots on the courts and fields of our communities. Our 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization’s mission is to rebuild or refurbish youth sports facilities in our restaurant communities. The Game On Foundation has refurbished two basketball courts in Baton Rouge and has one under construction currently in Melbourne, FL.
Please consider donating to the Walk-On's Game On Foundation so we can continue to live our mission - whether that's supporting future athletes or feeding people when they need it most - in the Baton Rouge community and beyond.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES In collaboration with Furlough Kitchen in Dallas, Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux launched Furlough Kitchen by Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux in 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis. Our operation, run through the Walk-On's Game On Foundation, provided furloughed workers one free meal, no matter their former employer. Furlough Kitchen by Walk-On’s operated out of a food truck or curbside at our restaurants and offered food to anyone in need. Through product and monetary donations, we were able to serve 30,000 meals across 6 states.
AIDING RELIEF EFFORTS Knowing that hurricane season impacts our restaurant communities heavily almost annually - Walk-On's Relief Kitchens have also been funded by our Game On Foundation. In 2020, we activated 5 relief kitchens and served over 9,000 meals in the Lake Charles and Mississippi affected areas. In 2021, we served over 4,500 meals to the Terrebonne Parish Community.

HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS walk through the doors of Emerge every day, and the agency’s staff works tirelessly to help them emerge from their challenges to reach their greatest potential. A gift to Emerge enables the agency to expand its capacity and develop new programs to support children on their path to independence. With community support, Emerge is able to serve families who have limited financial resources and nowhere else to turn.
M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM thrive when they have a routine, and even the slightest change in their schedule can create significant anxiety. When Emerge temporarily closed due to COVID in 2020, the team provided telehealth and distance learning to support families. Since the agency’s re-opening, it has ramped up services and re-established students’ classroom work. This return to stability has made a big difference for children in Emerge’s care. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Emerge has deepened its commitment to serving all those in need of services.

Upon receiving notice of the shutdown, our staff immediately sprang into action to develop policies and procedures for teletherapy services and home programs for the children when teletherapy was not appropriate. Our staff reached out to offer encouragement, advice, and modifications to improve their children’s functioning at home. These things have increased parental involvement, understanding of home environments, and much more.

M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE THE PANDEMIC PLACED even greater stress on our clients who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy with little support. Our greatest challenge has been providing hands-on care and support to these women. We have seen an increase in their desire for help with prenatal and postnatal care, housing, transportation, and career opportunities. All efforts are focused on ensuring a healthy pregnancy and delivery, and improving each woman’s chances for a stable life after placement. In turn, we help create loving adoptive homes for their babies.

M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE THE ONGOING PANDEMIC continues to seem like a bad dream, but it’s all too real and impacts every one of us. For those experiencing poverty and homelessness, their worst fears have been realized. The safety and security they want for themselves, and especially their children, has disappeared. They are facing a terrifying enemy—poverty and homelessness during a pandemic. We are working hard to keep hope alive for the most vulnerable of our community. We serve hot meals every day, provide shelter to homeless men, women, children and families, and fill life-sustaining prescriptions.

“Not giving a hand-out, but giving a
hand-up of compassion & hope”
F
or 156 years, we have been providing compassion and hope to those most in need by serving meals, providing shelter, making home visits, filling prescriptions and the list could go on and on. During the ongoing pandemic, we are especially working hard to shelter individuals and families experiencing homelessness. When you see someone on a street corner with a sign that says, “Homeless - Need Help,” your first instinct may be to hand them a cash donation, but we do not recommend that approach. Many people are experiencing homelessness because they have lost a job, become disabled, and have no family or friends to turn to, but some are homeless because of mental illness or problems with addiction. What they all need is a safe place to stay, people who care, and a chance to get back on their feet. That’s the purpose of the St. Vincent de Paul “Hope Card” to tell those who are in a situation of homelessness about the services we provide. Feel free to cut out our Hope Card above or visit https://svdpbr. org/hope-card to print and keep in your pocket or car. Rather than providing cash, our Hope Card can provide linkages to services to help someone overcome homelessness.

M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE THE PANDEMIC CREATED challenges for connecting with clients and hosting monthly support groups. The safety and health of clients are always a priority, and with clients in the highrisk category, in-person support groups were changed to virtual meetings. Even this posed a challenge because many clients had no access to the internet or a computer. The association provided care packages for clients to pick up, and continued monthly check-in calls. During the crisis, the association learned that communication is critical and incorporating technology is essential.

While vaccinations brought some relief, contact continues to be limited increasing isolation and faster decline due to the lack of mental and social simulation.

THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF the virus and vaccine created a disproportionately negative impact on the communities The 100’s programs serve. Black students who were already dealing with a gap in educational outcomes, faced an even wider gap due to the pandemic. Students in the Baton Rouge
community urgently need the programs and services of The 100, and the organization remains fervently committed to the work of uplifting the community. The 2020 coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated that not only is the work necessary, but it is perhaps more vital now than ever.

100 Black Men Upcoming Programs Respect 4 Life Program The 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge continues its efforts to curtail violence through promoting anti-violent initiatives amongst inner city youth. The “Respect 4-Life” program which consists of five one-hour sessions based on a five-module curriculum was launched as another effort to help turn the tide on violence in our community. The goal of the program is to help our youth improve self- esteem, parent/ child relations, and student/teacher/
peer relations. Students will acquire skills/techniques and protocols to help minimize conflicts thus improving their outcomes when encountering and engaging with the police. The program targets youth through working in partnership with community serving organizations, churches, schools and governmental entities. Interested individuals and organizations are encouraged to visit our website for additional details.
Financial Literacy Helping African-American and other disadvantaged youth to acquire knowledge and adopt practices on wealth creation is essential to overcoming existing wealth disparities and social and economic achievement gaps in our society. For the past 15 years, the 100 has been at the forefront of improving financial literacy through its “Dollars & Sense” Program. This intensive eight-week program focuses on the
fundamentals of personal finance, wealth management, savings, budgeting, credit management, and culminates in a local case competition for scholarships and prizes. The winners at the local level are then offered the opportunity to compete in competition against students from around the nation at the National 100 Convention. The next opportunity to participate in the program will be in Spring 2022.
ACT Prep Course/Bootcamp Given that the result from the ACT exam is a major factor used by colleges for determining admission and scholarships for students, our ACT Prep program remains a vital and growing component in our mentoring portfolio. The program’s primary goal is to increase the number of students enrolling in college with a scholarship. This evidence-based program emphasizes
three critical areas Time Mastery, Test Mastery, and Content Mastery. Students enrolled in the course averaged an increase of two points on their ACT scores, and more than two-thirds of the students scored high enough on the ACT exam to qualify for the TOPS scholarship program. The ACT Prep Course and Bootcamp will be offered in Spring and Fall 2022.

The Y refocused its efforts to meet the community’s emerging needs by providing emergency childcare for 171 children of healthcare workers when schools first closed and launching the Y’s Distance Learning Program to give 335 children a safe space for remote learning while supervised by Y staff during fall school closures.

M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE SINCE THE PANDEMIC, Capital Region Crime Stoppers has been unable to hold its annual awards luncheon, which is its biggest fundraiser. Crime has not stopped—if anything, it has gone up during the past year. In addition, call volume has since increased by citizens providing tips on crime. Crime Stoppers has been instrumental in numerous arrests and cleared cases, so the cost for awards has risen. Crime Stoppers has paid out more than $2.2 million in rewards over the past 39 years and cleared almost 14,000 crimes.

With state-mandated physical distancing guidelines, the agency had to think outside the box to not only raise funds, but to support our partners and the community.

United We Feed, an initiative that provided fresh fruits and vegetables, was created to ensure individuals received healthy alternatives due to limited resources. The VITA program had to get creative in conducting virtual tax preparations. For the first time, workplace campaigns were conducted virtually.

M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE WE WERE FORCED to turn to virtual instruction in spring 2020 and finished the school year connected to our students through alternative methods. We committed to return to campus in August 2020. We learned to focus on the basics of our program, seek expert advice, and prioritize our students’ health and safety. As a result, we completed a full school year on campus. Our annual signature event was canceled in spring 2020, but we held an alternative event in 2021 and learned new ways to engage our stakeholders in fun ways to support our program and stay connected to our mission.

EACH YEAR A variety of events are held in support of Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital, including The Big Bash, Driving the Future car raffle and many Children’s Miracle Network programs, including Dance Marathon at LSU and our annual Mediathon. Due to COVID-19, events have had to be reimagined. Through our volunteer and donor engagement, we continued to raise money to support children’s hospital initiatives such as Child Life Services, a program that makes the hospital a not-soscary place for our smallest patients. Child Life also helps families navigate an overwhelming experience during critical times.
VOLUNTE E R ING/GIV ING O PPO RTUNI TI ES THROUGH THEIR GIVING, our donors further Our Lady of the Lake’s ministry and our commitment to the community to provide exceptional care to all who enter our doors. Gifts

ELIMINATE RACISM and EMPOWER WOMEN. Through collaborative relationships with local businesses, public and private organizations, as well as local municipalities, we have been a collaborative leader in building community and providing opportunities for families.
WE CREATE REAL CHANGE: SIHLE works to guide teen girls (aged 13 to 19), as they strive toward personal dignity and future opportunity. The primary focus – what, “Empowerment,” means – is creating an open space for teen girls to: better negotiate abstinence or safe sex preferences with partners more fully understand the legacy of brilliant black women who helped shape American history and poetry speak openly and honestly about the challenges faced during adolescence Alongside a community of strong and caring women, our goal is to inspire teens to more fully actualize the beauty and brilliance inherent within themselves

In an environment where many people lost jobs, we were successful in securing living wage employment for our clients. A sudden shortage of long-term housing required
several of our clients to remain in our transitional houses longer than expected, but we were able to accommodate them. We learned that if given opportunities to succeed, our clients rise to the occasion. As a result, they are rebuilding their lives and making positive contributions to their communities.

THE FOOD BANK could not operate without support from its dedicated volunteers. In 2020, some 8,500 volunteers donated more than 36,000 hours in service. Volunteers are always needed—for sorting and categorizing, pandemic response efforts, helping with warehouse cleaning, administrative duties, mobile outreach programs, or helping in the Vince Ferachi Community Garden. For supporters of the Food Bank who are not able to donate time, remember: $1 can provide up to three meals for neighbors facing food insecurity.
M AK ING A D IF F E R E NCE LOUISIANA HAS THE highest food insecurity rate for children in the country and is ranked in the top 10 states with food-insecure seniors. One in eight individuals in the Food Bank’s service area is food insecure, which the USDA defines as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. This statistic will likely increase as the effects of the pandemic and local natural disasters are studied further. The Food Bank’s goal is to reduce the number of food insecure individuals in the community by collecting, purchasing and distributing food through its 100-plus member agencies.

REBUILDING TOGETHER BATON ROUGE lost volunteers, funding and staff due to COVID-19. The agency saw elderly homeowners, many living alone, quarantining in sub-standard housing often without basic necessities of daily living, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Most programs and services for the elderly were interrupted or stopped due to COVID. These elderly Baton Rouge residents didn’t want to go to nursing homes, and their income limitations restricted their ability to maintain their homes. During COVID, RTBR learned how truly great the local need is for the elderly.
