Grants of up to $50,000 to Louisiana nonprofit organizations for community development in eligible locations.

Eligible projects support the future community and economic development needs of Norco and St. Charles Parish.
Funding, in no priority order, will be considered based on the following priorities:
Small Business Development/New Job Creation: Support will be given for business development, i.e., training and technical assistance.
Workforce Development/Training: Target needed programs that strengthen the local workforce.
Quality of Life (i.e., Health, Land Use, Infrastructure, Senior Citizens): Expanding access to services and resources that enhance the quality of life for Norco residents.
Youth Opportunity (i.e., Youth Participation/Youth Job Related Activities): Youth community involvement, youth-adult partnerships, youth leadership, and youth empowerment activities all beneficially conspire to make young people participants in the life of the community rather than merely spectators or recipients of services.
