The NORD Foundation works to strengthen these efforts by securing additional resources that allow programs to grow, reach more residents, and create meaningful experiences that improve quality of life.

The mission of the NORD Foundation is to support NORD’s work by raising funds, building partnerships, and investing in programs that promote healthy lifestyles, youth development, and community engagement through recreation.

The NORD Foundation helps make it possible for NORD to continue offering a wide range of recreational and cultural opportunities, including:

By supporting these programs, the Foundation helps ensure that residents across New Orleans have access to safe spaces, positive outlets, and opportunities to learn, grow, and stay active.

Recreation plays an important role in building strong communities. Through the generosity of donors, partners, and supporters, the NORD Foundation helps expand access to programs that bring people together, support youth development, and promote healthier lifestyles throughout New Orleans.

Together, the NORD Foundation and NORD work to create opportunities that inspire participation, strengthen neighborhoods, and improve the quality of life for residents across the city.
