over $144 million in charitable and philanthropic gifts from the
community and has made over $75 million in donor-directed grants

an ongoing initiative
with a series of events.
Its overriding goal
is to accelerate the
entrepreneurial process
and create and enhance
entrepreneurialism in our
region. Led by hundreds of
volunteers and attracting
thousands of participants,
INNOV8 Acadiana inspires,
connects and showcases
innovators across industry
lines to ultimately grow the
rich entrepreneurial spirit our
region currently enjoys and
celebrates. We are proud to
continue our civic leadership
work with INNOV8 Acadiana
and collaborate with key
businesses and community
organizations such as One
Acadiana and LEDA.

2014 Foundation Affiliate Highlights
Community Foundation of Acadiana has two geographic
affiliates, Iberia Parish Foundation (IPF) and St. Mary Parish
Foundation (SMPF). Each affiliate has its own board of directors
that utilize CFA’s resources, infrastructure and professional
management of assets as they strengthen philanthropy in
Iberia and St. Mary parishes. A geographic affiliate provides
a unique vehicle to enhance the quality of life for the citizens
of a particular parish. If you are interested in learning more
about establishing an affiliate in your parish, please contact
the Foundation at 337.769.4848.

The Iberia Parish Foundation (IPF) was established in 2007
as Community Foundation of Acadiana’s first affiliate. Its local
Board of Directors determines philanthropic objectives for
discretionary dollars from its family of named discretionary
Funds – to benefit all things Iberia Parish.
The Iberia Parish Foundation supports the arts, education,
community development projects and improving the local
culture and tourism industry.
“
The Leader In Me is a
special project of the Iberia
Parish Foundation, and
we are proud to bring it to
Daspit Elementary School
in Iberia Parish. This would
not be possible without
the leadership of the
Iberia Parish Foundation
and the outstanding,
collective generosity of
Berard Transportation and
anonymous donors. We
hope to be able to benefit
more schools.”
Beau Beaullieu
Iberia Parish Foundation
2015 Chairman of the Board
Please visit www.cfacadiana.org/Iberia for more information.
The Leader In Me
The Iberia Parish Foundation (IPF) focused its philanthropic
efforts on bringing The Leader In Me to a school in Iberia
Parish after its strategic planning session in early 2014.
The Leader In Me works to educate students and faculty on
non-traditional aspects of success that are not typically taught
in schools. It teaches students the self-confidence and skills
they need to thrive in the 21st-century economy. The concept
is based on the book, The 7 Healthy Habits of Highly Effective
People, The Leader in Me by Stephen Covey, and is in use in
more than 2,000 schools worldwide.
The IPF Board of Directors invited schools to apply for The
Leader In Me through an independent grant cycle. The grant
applications and follow-up interviews led the IPF Board to
select Daspit Elementary School as the pilot school in Iberia
Parish for The Leader In Me.
There is an investment of $80,000 to implement The Leader
In Me over a three-year period. This public-private partnership
is made possible through the Iberia Parish Foundation, Daspit
Elementary School and generous donors. Additionally,
Berard Transportation agreed to match dollars that have
been raised to ensure The Leader In Me is implemented at
Daspit Elementary school. The school will implement
The Leader In Me during the 2015-2016 school year. IPF plans
to bring The Leader In Me to other schools in Iberia Parish.

The St. Mary Parish
Foundation was honored to
enter into a public-private

Warriors Memorial and
contribute $10,000 to the
project. This Memorial is

Fallen Warriors Memorial
The Fallen Warriors Memorial Committee, in cooperation
with and support of the City of Morgan City and the St. Mary
Parish Foundation, unveiled and dedicated the Fallen Warriors
Memorial on Veterans Day, November 11, 2014. The Fallen
Warriors Memorial Project was spearheaded by a group of
local veterans under the determined leadership of Terry A.
Mayon, Sr. and Marc Distefano. The City of Morgan City
entered into a public-private partnership with the St. Mary
Parish Foundation, an affiliate of Community Foundation of
Acadiana, to receive private, tax-deductible contributions to
fund the memorial.
The Memorial was funded through local fundraising events
and corporate and individual donations. The St. Mary Parish
Foundation also granted $10,000 to the establishment of the
Memorial which features a monument, a Walk of Honor brick
walkway and a Memorial Wall of Names on the grounds of the
Morgan City Municipal Auditorium to honor veterans of the tricity area of Morgan City, Berwick and Patterson, Louisiana.
The monument depicts three “Fallen Warriors”, each from
a different era during the last 100 years: the World War I
“Doughboy,” the World War II/Korea/Vietnam “G.I.” and the
Modern Day soldier of Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom
and Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan).
The Walk of Honor brick walkway honors all veterans, both
living and dead, with ties to the local area. The Memorial Wall
of Names lists the names, ranks, branches of service and dates
of death of the fallen warriors of the tri-city area. On the deck
between the monument and the Memorial Wall of Names are
memorial bricks honoring those service men and women who
died of non-combat related injuries or accidents during wartime. This unique and permanent tribute honors the sacrifice of
veterans and expresses the everlasting gratitude of its citizens.

(who, at this printing, is still living in Patterson,
Louisiana), are U.S. Veterans of World War II.
These ‘brothers in arms’ fought the Japanese
on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.
It was there that Peter Manfre was killed
on January 11, 1945. With little information,
a heart-broken mother, Mrs. Lee (Geneva
Guarisco) Manfre, wrote this letter to then
Corporal Joseph “Joe” Governale in a
desperate attempt to seek information and
closure. This powerful story is one of many
uncovered as a result of research for the Fallen

2014, and we knew we wanted to do something to memorialize

Memorial Music Fund at CFA to continue his passion of bringing
Cajun music and culture to others.
In November 2014, we held the Al Berard
Music Festival in Henderson to honor our

Financial Advisor Program
The Financial Advisor Program is an option
for donors that prefer to maintain their trusted
financial advisors or firms to manage the
investments of the assets in their Funds.
E. Larry Sikes of Darnall, Sikes, Gardes & Frederick (pictured above) is a participant in CFA’s Financial Advisor Program.
CFA encourages philanthropy through the establishment of separate, named
Funds. CFA is custodian of these charitable and philanthropic resources that help
generous donors meet their objectives immediately and in perpetuity. This platform
affords the creation of legacies for individuals, families, groups, companies, other
foundations and nonprofits that can include multiple generations.
Generally, donors select an investment strategy for the assets of the Funds
established at CFA. An exception to this is CFA’s Financial Advisor Program.
The Financial Advisor Program is an option for donors that prefer to maintain
their trusted financial advisors or firms to manage the investments of the
assets in their Funds.
The Foundation works with professional advisors and their clients to meet
their tax and charitable goals. Professional advisors maintain the core
relationship with their clients and retain a fee for their services. Donors have
secure, online access to their accounts and can allow read-only access to
professional advisors as they choose.
CFA’s Financial Advisor Program experienced continued growth in 2014. The
number of Financial Advisor Program relationships grew by 31%, while the
amount of assets in separately-invested accounts increased by 42%. Additionally,
separately-invested accounts comprised 21% of CFA’s total investable assets as of
December 31, 2013 (excluding real estate and other assets).
“Part of my enjoyment in life
is spending time on my boat
in Bayou Lafourche while
visiting friends and clients. As a certified professional
advisor, I have clients in
different parts of the country
including south Louisiana. Community Foundation of
Acadiana offers an attractive
vehicle which keeps me
engaged with my clients’
philanthropy, an important
component of their overall
financial planning.”
