About the Foundation

Community Foundation of Acadiana was established to enhance philanthropy in our region and the amount of financial support going towards charitable causes.  We are donor-focused – donors satisfy their diverse charitable objectives while creating legacies for themselves and their families through permanent, named funds.  Community Foundation of Acadiana is the perfect vehicle through which charitable dreams are realized.  What is your charitable passion?  What is your dream?  What is your vision?  

We invite you to learn more about us and about the service we can offer you.  Research our website, come in and visit us or call us to learn more.

Our New Home





Community Foundation of Acadiana is the beneficiary of a permanent home, located in River Ranch, that is currently under construction.  This facility will serve as the center for philanthropic activity in Acadiana and will attract attention to charitable giving in our community.

The building is on schedule to be completed in 2009.  Check back for updates on our progress.
