Ross Lynn Charitable Foundation

A nonprofit organization

RLCF was born out of a desire to honor a life that was limitless. Our programming purposefully includes broad areas of involvement as a reflection of the boundless curiosity and action of Ross Lynn.

• We are driven by our belief that cultivating individuals who are joyful, bold, faithful, and embracing the world is a worthwhile endeavor.

• Through our programming in the arts, outdoor adventure, and healthy living, participants develop an appreciation of the world and are challenged to enhance their communities.

• We seek to bridge the world to North Louisiana through virtual connections and cultural exchange.

• Our strength is in collaboration. We partner with other nonprofits and organizations that have complementary missions to amplify the work and multiply the impact of donations.

• Our work provides opportunities for getting outdoors, challenges youth leaders in outdoor wilderness immersion, and supports sustainable agriculture, artists, and artisans.




Our Focus

Arts & Culture

We create opportunities for emerging artists to collaborate online and in person. Our North Louisiana residencies and out-of-residence experiences offer diverse encounters to artists and the local community. By partnering with noted writers, our art focus additionally provides participants with tools to cultivate their unique writer's life.

Our work in the art is done through:

-North Louisiana Artist-in-Residence program

-North Louisiana Artist-out-of-Residence program

-North Louisiana Arts Interchange

-Our writing programming & offerings

-Sponsoring art conferences and markets

-Hosting art exhibits for local artists

Outdoor Adventure

Our focus is on returning to the source, communing with nature, and tapping into our most authentic selves. 

We provide pathways that create opportunities for personal growth and promote development, leading to physical, mental, and emotional transformation.

Health & Wellness

We believe healthy living begins on the inside. It is what we put into our bodies and how we move throughout the day. 

Self-care is essential daily. We embrace techniques like yoga and eating healthy from organic, sustainable, locall farms and gardens. These intentions provide mental, physical, and spiritual healing from the inside out.
