Reach New Orleans Families!

The NORD Foundation is piloting a program to provide companies with access to families at play and a range of benefits from onsite activation to inclusive event branding. 

Familes flock to NORD.

Youth participation in NORD athletic and cultural programs totaled 169,515 in 2017, not counting thousands of adults who come to watch their children play and perform. Senior participation was 35,479, and 1,627 is the average daily number of patrons at 12 recreation centers across the city.

NORD is a quality brand.

The City of New Orleans has invested $170 million in NORD's infrastructure, and NORD's facilities are now topnotch. Since 2010, the City has tripled the public budget to operate and maintain it. In 2017, NORD achieved accreditation from the National Recreation and Parks Association, signifying that NORD has implemented and uses national best practices in programming and business operations.
