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 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+ HAS RECENTLY HIRED A CONTRACT GRANT WRITER THAT HAS AN EXCELLENT TRACK RECORD. SINCE HIRING HER, WE HAVE APPLIED TO FOUR GRANTS AND HAVE THREE IN DRAFT FORM, WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S TOP PRIORITY BEING TO DIVERSIFY FUNDING. THE BOARD FOR LAA+, GOVERNED BY BOARD CHAIRPERSON JACQUES RODRIGUE, HAS AGREED TO STEP UP THEIR SUPPORT THROUGH DONATIONS AND SOLICITING CORPORATE SPONSORS. LAA+ IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF PLANNING OUR FIRST BOARD RETREAT THAT WILL INCLUDE TRAINING PROVIDED BY A FUNDRAISING PROFESSIONAL. 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. WE HAVE MOST RECENTLY BEEN FEATURED IN A TWO-PAGE SPREAD IN BATON ROUGE BUSINESS REPORT, AN INVALUABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS LEADERS FROM ACROSS OUR CITY. THIS SPREAD WILL BE USED AS LEVERAGE TO BUILD COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO INCREASED FINANCIAL SUPPORT. 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) AND ARE CURRENTLY IN TALKS ABOUT RECEIVING DOLLARS FROM THEM TO CONTINUE OUR WORK. WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE SINCE BECOMING OUR OWN NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION . WE ARE CURRENTLY COMPLETING A 5-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN WITH FUNDRAISING AND BRANDING BEING OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
