Community Enhancement Award
As a long-standing member of the Baton Rouge community and one of the largest employers in the Baton Rouge area, Baton Rouge General recognizes the positive impact of non-profit organizations working to improve our community. That’s why we developed the Community Enhancement Award, a grant program that allows us to select and support large projects with significant, multi-year grants. This award replaces our former sponsorship process to focus on complex initiatives that align with our mission to restore and maintain health, one person at a time.
The Community Enhancement Award is intended for non-profit organizations seeking financial support to implement transformative, sustainable projects that benefit Baton Rouge area residents in one of the areas below (expand each section for more details). Depending on the project needs, BRG will commit up to $50,000 for up to three years.
Transformative: To create an important and lasting change.
Sustainable: Able to be maintained over a long period of time.
The application period for the 2019 CEA is now closed. Applications for the 2020 CEA will start in Spring 2020.
