IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0LOUISIANA A+ SCHOOLS (LAA+) IS STATEWIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR K - 12 EDUCATORS THAT BEGAN AS A PROGRAM OF THE GEORGE RODRIGUE FOUNDATION OF THE ARTS (GRFA) IN 2013. IN 2016, LAA+ BEGAN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING ITS OWN 501(C)3 ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THE INTEREST IN OUR PROGRAM GREW SO RAPIDLY AND GRFA, A PRIVATE FAMILY FOUNDATION, WAS UNABLE TO FUNDRAISE THE MONEY NEEDED TO WORK WITH ALL OF THE SCHOOLS REQUESTING THE PROGRAM. THE WINDGATE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, A FOUNDATION UNRELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION OR ITS BOARD, HAS SUPPORTED LAA+ AND PROVIDED FUNDING THAT HAS ALLOWED US TO WORK WITH 26+ SCHOOLS IN LOUISIANA. WITHOUT THEIR FUNDING, LAA+ WOULD BE UNABLE TO TRAIN 800+ TEACHERS, IMPACTING 10,000+ STUDENTS. DURING THIS TIME LAA+ HAS SUBMITTED MULTIPLE GRANTS WITH SUCCESS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PANDEMIC CHANGED THE FUNDING PRIORITIES FOR SO MANY GRANTING ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTEAD OF PROGRAMS LIKE LAA+, THEY FOCUSED ON MEETING THE BASIC NEEDS OF THOSE THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE MOST. LUCKILY, AS OUR COUNTRY RECOVERS FROM THE PANDEMIC, MORE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR NON-PROFITS. BECAUSE OF THIS SHIFT, LAA+ HIRED A CONTRACT GRANT WRITER THAT HAS AN EXCELLENT TRACK RECORD. SINCE HIRING HER, WE HAVE APPLIED FOR A DOZEN GRANTS AND DRAFTED MORE, WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S TOP PRIORITY BEING TO DIVERSIFY FUNDING. LAA+ IS PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE, LEVELING THE CLASSROOM PLAYING FIELD FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS, THOSE THAT COME FROM POVERTY OR ARE LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. OUR MOST RECENT PARTNERSHIP IS WITH LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, A TIER 1 RESEARCH SCHOOL AND FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITY FOR OUR STATE. THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL ALLOW US TO FOCUS OUR WORK IN SELECT SCHOOLS ON STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ARTS, MATH).
