The Lagniappe Fund is a pool of $200K+ bonus dollars that is used to grow organizations' gifts. Community Foundation secures these funds to be shared by all participating nonprofits receiving donations during Give For Good. The amount each organization receives from the Lagniappe Fund will be based on the overall percentage of funds raised on the day of the event. For example, if an organization raises 1% of the total funds collected during Give For Good, it will receive 1% of the Lagniappe Fund. Individual donations will qualify for the match up to a $10,000 limit to prevent substantial donations from skewing the allocation of the Lagniappe Fund. Thanks to our generous Lagniappe Fund supporters, every gift given through Give For Good is matched on a pro-rata basis. Over $20,000 in prizes are also awarded out of the fund.
All donors will have the option to contribute to the Lagniappe Fund during checkout. To learn more about becoming a Lagniappe Fund sponsor, please email giveforgood@cfnla.org.
The Lagniappe Fund is created from gifts made by local businesses, other supporting foundations, and generous donors. Individuals will also be able to give to the Lagniappe Fund during checkout on Give For Good day if desired.
At the completion of Give For Good, CFNLA will determine each nonprofit's percentage of the Lagniappe Fund by dividing the total amount each nonprofit raised by the total amount of dollars raised by all participating nonprofits. This amount will then be multiplied by the total amount of dollars in the Lagniappe Fund. In other words, the percentage of the Lagniappe Fund received is equal to the percentage of the total funds donated during Give For Good.
Reminder: the Lagniappe Fund is NOT a dollar-for-dollar match. Matching is determined post-event after all donations are received. Organizations must raise at least $500 to receive a portion of the Lagniappe Fund.
Over $20,000 is up for grabs through Give For Good prizes. There are three categories of additional prizes and funds that can be awarded to participating organizations: pre-event, post-event, and giving day. Examples of prizes include:
Organizations will be given a full list of prizes and qualifications prior to the event and donors can keep up with the winners on the Leaderboard and the Community Foundation's Facebook.
