COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF ACADIANA: REPORT 2010
A BETTER WAY TO GIVE
Community Foundation of Acadiana is
one of over 725 successful community foundations in the
United States. We are a nonprofit organization that services 8 parishes: Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette,
St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and Vermilion. We connect philanthropists to nonprofits and the causes that are important to them. Donors entrust us with their charitable dollars by developing customizable Funds to address those
causes. Donors direct us to make grants from their Funds to our nonprofit organizations that fit with those causes.
We are unique because we help our donors “grow” their Funds to build upon what they can give. In this way, we
increase giving in Acadiana which we believe can change a community positively.
We seek to make giving easier, more effective and to improve our community broadly by impacting many
focus areas.
We bring together partnerships for critical civic leadership projects that build
a better community
for all. We provide regional expertise by understanding the issues and needs that shape our region.
We are a resource to our donors, and to our nonprofits. We bring nonprofits together, and strengthen
nonprofits,
particularly through our new DONORSense® database. We provide a voice amongst Acadiana’s nonprofits through
DONORSense®, in order to provide our donors with the information necessary to make effective giving decisions and give
to the causes that are most important to them, and therefore,
we provide a better way to give.

IN CONCLUSION
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
TO OUR FRIENDS
In December of 2000, The Legacy Foundation of
Acadiana was introduced.
The concept of a community
foundation was new, but the vision of its charter leadership
– Elaine Abell, Kathy Ashworth, Don Bacque, Barry Berthelot,
Gerald Boudreaux, Roland Dugas, Mike Hamner, Mike Hollier, Mike
Michot, Frank Neuner, Hank Perret, Jim Prince, Rae Robinson,
Robert Trahan, and Gail Romero – ensured this to be good for
Acadiana.
Combined with the initial guidance and support of
United Way of Acadiana and its Board and leadership, including
Margaret Trahan and Tom Will, and subsequent workplace provision by the Moody Company, the Foundation had a promising start.
We are honored by our Founders, Friends and donors that
have entrusted us with their philanthropic objectives
and dreams over our first 10 years, including the gift of a new
building. The Foundation ended 2010 with almost $50 million
in assets and cumulative grants of nearly $20 million.
Additionally, the Foundation will disburse $30 million for the
BP Louisiana Tourism Recovery Program. Community Foundation
of Acadiana is south-central Louisiana’s premier philanthropic
organization.
Join us!
Let us help organize and structure YOUR
philanthropy. We look forward to serving you.

DEEPWATER HORIZON
OIL SPILL 4.20.2010
Louisiana’s coastal wetlands and its communities were deeply affected
by the Oil Spill aftermath. It shattered our environmental, economic
and cultural health. The Foundation and its donors provided regional
leadership and immediate response to this disaster, in addition to longterm recovery funding.
BP agreed to help rebuild Louisiana’s tourism industry: The BP
Tourism Recovery Fund was established with a Memorandum of
Understanding between the State and BP which included the Foundation’s
role to create a $30 million dollar Fund for marketing Louisiana as a
tourist destination. Because of its transparency and its expertise, the
Foundation was chosen to act as a conduit to dispense the funds to
all of the affected parishes in our region. “We appreciate Community
Foundation of Acadiana for working with us…” said Lieutenant Governor
Jay Dardenne, “…My goal was to maximize the amount of money available
to promote Louisiana…”

The Gulf Aid Acadiana Fund was created by singer-songwriter Zachary
Richard, avid kayak fisherman Valerie Gonsoulin and community organizer-producer
Todd Mouton to assist in restoring the economic and ecological vitality of Louisiana’s
coastal wetlands, namely for the Acadiana Gulf coast. Local and national musicians
partnered with the Foundation in a fiscal sponsorship called “For Our Coast”, which
raised $40,000 for the cause. The Foundation made grants from this Fund, for
example, to Bayou Grace Community Services which provided immediate
assistance to those in lower Terrebonne Parish. The Foundation
provided a safe and neutral way to attract tax-deductible donations to the Fund.

BUILDING A BETTER PARTNERSHIP
TO BENEFIT OUR COMMUNITY
With resources entrusted to us by individuals, families, corporations, other foundations and community partners, the
Foundation provides hope to children by strengthening our education system, funding for the arts, outreach
to the homeless, and resources to help families and children fighting and living with cancer. Additionally, the
Foundation provides the infrastructure necessary to support community projects such as the Palmetto Island
State Park, the BP Louisiana Tourism Recovery Program and local geographic affiliates. The Friends of the Community
Fund supports our infrastructure and creates the
capacity to make all of this possible.

Leadership Lafayette Class XXIII member, Jay Chase, shared
a moving story with his classmates about a young man who
had grown up through Cub Scout Packs Boy Scout Troups.
He was just shy of becoming an Eagle Scout, but could not
attend summer Boy Scout Camp due to financial reasons.
Class discussions led to the establishment of Acadiana’s
Future Fund. As leaders in the community, Leadership
Lafayette Class XXIII felt it their mission to recognize, support
and foster leadership potential for Acadiana’s youth, including
those with financial needs, by helping them to succeed in
life and reach their full potential. The XXIII Class challenges
other Leadership Lafayette Classes to contribute to Acadiana’s
Future Fund, which will be advised by Class graduates.

CORPORATE DONOR
ADVISED FUNDS
Research proves that corporate
philanthropy can increase a corporation’s return on invest-
ment, boost employee morale, provide better employee recruitment and retention, establish credibility for
its brand, increase its competitive advantage and enhance customer
loyalty. Corporate Charitable
Funds, Customized Sponsorships and Giving Strategies give Acadiana companies the opportunity to give
back to their communities while utilizing the
expertise of the Foundation and receiving
maximum tax advantages. We provide many creative and organized partnership opportunities.
• 8 in 10 Americans say corporate
support of causes helps to earn their loyalty to a business.
Employees and customers prefer organizations that are associated with a good cause and work towards a
common purpose--improving life in their communities.
• 72% of Americans want their employers to do more to support
a cause or social issue. 89% of
those familiar with their companies’ cause programs feel a strong sense of loyalty to their employers.
93% say it is important for their companies to provide them with opportunities
to become
involved with social issues.

Women’s and Children’s Hospital, a campus of the
Regional Health System of Acadiana, is making a name
for itself in the world of philanthropy. Through its
Corporate Charitable Fund at the Foundation, the hospital
can promote its services while supporting charitable
organizations throughout Acadiana. Grants to events
such as the Susan G. Komen – Race for the Cure, Miles
Perret Cancer Services – Games of Acadiana, and
Woman’s Foundation – Safe Sitter Program, allow
Women’s and Children’s Hospital to strategically market
itself as a leading healthcare institution whose mission
is focused on the well being of women and children,
much like that of the nonprofits they support.

meals
Second Harvest Food Bank has several programs such as
Summer Feeding which address child hunger during the
summer months when thousands of children are left undernourished and hungry. Louisiana has one of the highest rates
of child food insecurity in the country and the summer months
put an additional strain on families to provide meals which
children receive through free and reduced lunch programs
during the school year. In the 2010 fiscal year, Second Harvest
distributed nearly 4 million meals through its 240 member
agency network with 60 of the agencies located throughout
Acadiana’s eight-parish service area. A Fund at the Foundation
provided resources to go towards the costs incurred with
providing 20,000 meals to Acadiana families and children in
need, giving them hope and a nourished mind, body and soul.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana, Inc. inspires and enables
children to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens through offering five core areas of
programming: Character & Leadership; Education & Career
Development; Health & Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports,
Fitness & Recreation. It served over 2,749 children in
2010 throughout its five sites: Abbeville, New Iberia,
Opelousas, and two in Lafayette. Of these youth, 65% are
from single-parent households, and 92% live at or below the
poverty level. It is a home away from home, a safe haven,
where children can grow and prosper under the dedicated
and hardworking staff who assures every child can work
toward reaching their goals. The Foundation’s “Spirit of
Acadiana” Discretionary Fund provided funding to support
its arts programming so that these children can receive joy
through the spirit of musicality and artistic expression.

COMMUNITY IMPACT
Through the vision
and leadership of a public-private partnership
between the Foundation, area elected officials and various community
organizations, Palmetto Island State Park opened in Vermilion Parish on
October 28, 2010. The Palmetto Island State Park Fund at the Foundation
attracted nearly $300,000
in private, tax-deductible
contributions, that will help to supplement the operations of the park.
Many folks worked tirelessly to make the opening of Palmetto Island a
reality. An entire community supported the project by way of hard
work,
volunteerism, and charitable giving. “When visitors come
to Vermilion Parish and Palmetto Island State Park, they will understand why
the people of south Louisiana stay in south Louisiana—it’s the passion of the
people…, and
it’s the passion of the people that will
keep [the park] open” (Senator Nick Gautreaux).
The Park is positioned to serve Louisiana citizens, attract-out-of-state visitors
and make

FISCAL SPONSORSHIPS
When a project of a person or group wants to receive support from one or more
funding sources that by law, policy or preference, will only make payments to
organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, a fiscal sponsorship is created.
The Foundation (grantor) serves as fiscal sponsor for a project (grantee).

LEGACY FUNDS
A donor can establish a Fund at the Foundation to be funded with a future
“planned gift.” The most popular planned gift is a simple bequest via a will.
Other planned gifts include charitable remainder trusts or charitable lead trusts,
gifts of remainder interest in a home or real estate, life insurance proceeds and life
estates. Today, the donor determines the type of Fund and its future beneficiaries.
This is a simple and powerful vehicle to create a legacy for oneself and one’s family.

GIVING CARDS
The Foundation launched its Giving
Card program during the 2009 holiday season with great
success! The Giving Cards are much like retail gift cards; the purchaser, however, receives a tax
deduction, and the cards can be redeemed to benefit any 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States.
The cards can be purchased online with only the click of a button, making
giving easier
and fun. Card users are encouraged to find information on where to give by going to the Foundation’s
DONORSense® database, www.donorsense.org, all the while emphasizing the Foundation’s mission
to connect donors to community needs and increase giving.
The Foundation saw its Giving Card program reach new heights with the for-profit world, inspiring
corporations to customize their giving with the Foundation through a Corporate
Philanthropy
strategy. Some of the many benefits of corporate philanthropy are attracting new employees,
boosting employee morale, and increasing revenue. The best part of a
Corporate Giving Card is that the cards can be customized with a company’s logo and given to
employees or vendors. The Foundation received positive feedback in 2010 as corporations continued
to get behind their community by establishing new Funds at the Foundation and making the Giving Cards
a part of their holiday gift giving, a
24
true twist on increasing giving.

DONORSENSE
®
We connect people who want to make a difference with Acadiana nonprofit groups doing important work. Through
this database, we hope to make giving easier,
increase giving in Acadiana and thereby strengthen
Acadiana nonprofits.
More and more, donors are showing a need for information before making their giving choices. DONORSense®
is an online, searchable database of comprehensive and objective information
on Acadiana’s nonprofits.
Since its launch on June 23, 2010, the site has grown to 116 published profiles with another 60 organizations that
are in the process of completing them. Search
information about their programs, needs,
governance, management, and financials.
In an effort to impact our community, the Foundation held its first discretionary grant cycle in 2010 and granted
$30,000 dollars to 10 nonprofits with established DONORSense® profiles – impacting the
community in a major way.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
OF ACADIANA AFFILIATES
An Affiliate is a geographic component fund, or a collection of funds, established under the auspices of the
Foundation that is specified
to benefit a particular geographic area or parish. These
permanent charitable resources are under the trusted care of a local Board of Directors.
Iberia Parish Enhancement Fund (IPEF):
St. Mary Parish Community Fund:
In 2010, IPEF made 4 grants to organizations serving
youth and children in the parish. The grants were
awarded to: Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana Iberia Unit, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana,
Junior Achievement of Acadiana and New Iberia
Optimist Club Foundation (Inside & Out Garden
Project at Sugarland Elementary School). The Iberia
Parish Council also proclaimed November 2010 as
Iberia Parish Philanthropy Month.
This Fund and its Board of Directors awarded its first
grants on November 30, 2010 in the amount of $1,000
each to the eight high schools in St. Mary Parish. The
first grants emphasized education and were made to
recognize the eight St. Mary Parish high schools for
their efforts to promote student achievement. The
funds are to be used for products, programs, or
services in order for each school to encourage students
to excel academically.
This Fund utilizes the resources, infrastructure, and
professional management of assets of the Foundation
while focusing attention on growing philanthropy in
Iberia Parish. IPEF is advised by a Board of Directors
made up of Iberia Parish residents who focus on broad
philanthropic fields including social services, children
and youth, the arts, education, community development,
and more.
This Fund utilizes the resources, infrastructure and
professional management of assets of the Foundation
while utilizing its own board of directors to focus
attention on improving the community and growing
philanthropy in St. Mary Parish. The purpose of the
St. Mary Parish Community Fund is to fund programs
which broadly impact St. Mary Parish and to focus on
enhancing the quality of life in St. Mary Parish.
In response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil
Catastrophe, the IPEF Board of Directors elected to
establish the Iberia Parish Oil Spill Relief Fund to
provide aid to residents of Iberia Parish whose
livelihoods have been affected by this incident.
28
Affiliates leverage the strength, organization, administrative
support and credibility of the Foundation.

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS
With its own board of directors and designation as a public charity, a
supporting organization is
a perfect option for individual, family, and corporate philanthropy. While a
supporting organization has strong ties with the organization it supports, this strong relationship enables the
supporting organization to enjoy all of the benefits
of a private foundation without bearing any
of the burdens. A supporting organization is able to provide services with more flexibility, at a lower cost, and
with better tax advantages. We are proud to partner with the following supporting organizations:
Louisiana Parks Foundation (2010) and Louisiana Real Estate Foundation (2006)
PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS
PROGRAM
The Foundation can help professional advisors serve their clients in new areas that strengthen
the
advisor-client relationship. When professional advisors partner with us to assist clients with
charitable gift planning, clients receive the highest level of service. Outright gifts of cash, life insurance, closely
held stock, publicity-traded stock, tangible personal property, retirement plan assets, and gifts of real estate are
examples of charitable gifts, and when given through the Foundation, clients
receive the maximum
tax benefits. Under the Foundation’s Professional Advisors Program, the professional advisor can choose to
stay involved and continue managing their client’s charitable assets. In partnership, the Foundation and professional
advisors
30
help clients reach their financial, tax, estate, and philanthropic goals.
SERVICE AREAS
The Foundation focuses its primary grantmaking and charitable
services within an eight-parish area: Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia,
Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and
Vermilion parishes…and beyond.

FOUNDERS SOCIETY
The Founders Society had a
vision about what a strong community foundation could do for our region. Each of
these entities contributed resources to lay the groundwork for the Foundation’s now ten years of
community impact. We extend our continued thanks to this group who believed in the Foundation even
when it was little more than an idea.
