Savoy Keith Myers Gulf Coast Bank Haynie & Associates RR Company of America, LLC LHC Group Community Foundation of Acadiana’s Board of Directors consists of individuals who reside in and represent each of the eight parishes of its primary service area in Acadiana including Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and Vermilion. CFA seeks directors with integrity and a variety of perspectives, opinions and experiences who are capable and committed to the Foundation’s core purpose of building legacies and improving communities by connecting generous people to the cause they care about. *In 2018, President Trump nominated Washington to be the Director of the U.S. Marshals Service. In 2019, the U.S. Senate confirmed this nomination. At the time of Mr. Washington’s departure, Rob Eddy, Jr. will assume the position of Chairman, Jerry Shea Jr. will be Vice-Chairman, and Anita Fontenot will be Secretary / Treasurer. Our core purpose is to build legacies and improve communities by connecting generous people to the causes they care about. BUILDING LEGACIES Generous donors have the opportunity to establish a charitable savings account in numerous ways. Donors establish a fund at CFA that they name and they direct. CFA’s impermanent Donor Advised Funds are easy to establish and can be done with any amount. Contributions to the fund are tax deductible. Donors use these funds to make grants to nonprofits, churches and schools, and CFA manages all of the paperwork for you. Establishing gifts and fund balances are never public, not even to the CFA Board of Directors, and the funds can benefit from the appreciation of its invested dollars. At any time or as part of a succession plan, donors transition to other permanent named funds. Such permanent named funds include Scholarship Funds; Designated Funds allocated for particular churches, schools or nonprofits; or Fields of Interest Funds that benefit particular causes or a particular parish. This is a powerful tool to build one’s legacy and memorialize or honor parents, grandparents and others. “I want my life’s work to benefit others,” said one generous donor. IMPROVING COMMUNITIES CFA’s primary service area includes the eight (8) Acadiana parishes of Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and Vermilion. CFA grows and enhances philanthropy throughout this region. CFA’s most prominent civic leadership endeavors include the establishment of the Iberia Parish Foundation and St. Mary Parish Foundation, affiliate foundations of CFA. Community leaders and philanthropists in surrounding parishes are working to establish an affiliate foundation for their respective parishes. CONNECTING GENEROUS PEOPLE TO THE CAUSES THEY CARE ABOUT Through the power of our donors and investors of CFA, we are making a substantial impact on the causes that you care about. In 2018, we witnessed our assets increase to $129 million. Additionally, we received nearly $28 million in gifts and distributed more than $20 million in grants and scholarships. You can view our 2018 financial report on pages 6 and 7. 3 Funds at Community Foundation of Acadiana PERMANENT OR NON-PERMANENT FUNDS The first decision a donor makes in establishing a fund at CFA is whether the fund is to be permanent or non-permanent. PERMANENT FUND A permanent gift whereby the principal is invested and preserved ensuring the donor’s long-term intent of its use. The gift is invested and annually a portion of the earnings is available to be granted to the philanthropic causes defined by the donor. NON-PERMANENT FUND The donor can use the principal donated and any earnings to benefit their philanthropic causes defined by the donor. DONOR ADVISED AND CORPORATE ADVISED FUNDS Essentially, a charitable savings account, this option is our most popular and makes giving easy. Individuals, families or companies can make tax-deductible contributions at any time. Grants are then made to any number of US 501(c)(3) nonprofits, churches, schools or public entities at the discretion of the donor(s). DESIGNATED AND AGENCY FUNDS These Funds benefit a non-profit organization the donor supports. Donor(s) name the designated organization(s) that will benefit from this Fund. A nonprofit can also establish this type of Fund to support its own charitable mission, ensure continuity of its programs and meet emergencies and financial deficits. FIELD OF INTEREST These Funds benefit an interest and cause that is important to the donor. Donor(s) may define the field of interest broadly or specifically such as the arts, childhood obesity, or a particular community or parish. SCHOLARSHIP FUND These Funds provide assistance to students at any education level or for a specific institution. They can also be established to honor a loved one. Scholarship awards are granted to the student and designated entity per purpose and criteria. EMPLOYEE EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND Funds provide immediate financial assistance to employees of a company or members of an association who experience a financial hardship due to an emergency situation that is beyond their control and is not caused by the employer. PERMANENT DISCRETIONARY FUND From these Funds, the CFA Board of Directors award grants to organizations that meet emerging needs and opportunities in the communities we serve. LEGACY FUND A donor can establish a Fund with CFA to be funded with a future “planned gift.” The most popular planned gift is a simple bequest via a will. Other planned gifts include charitable remainder trusts or charitable lead trusts, gifts of remainder interest in a home or real estate, life insurance proceeds and life estates. Today, the donor determines the type of Fund and its future beneficiaries. This is a simple and powerful vehicle to create a legacy for oneself and one’s family. 4 Establishing Your Donor Advised Fund is Simple 1 YOUR GIFT 2 GIFT OPTIONS INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY CASH WILLS & ESTATE GIFTS REAL ESTATE CORPORATION, BUSINESS OR STOCKS, BONDS CLOSELY HELD NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION & MUTUAL FUNDS STOCK CHOOSE YOUR CREATE & NAME YOUR FUND 3 INVESTMENT POOL 4 AGGRESSIVE MIX MODERATE AGRESSIVE MIX DONOR & DESIGNATED & FIELD OF SCHOLARSHIP MODERATE MIX CORPORATE AGENCY FUND INTEREST FUND ADVISED FUND CATHOLIC VALUES FUND CONSERVATIVE MIX RISK AVERSE CUSTOMIZED ALLOCATION PERMANENT EMPLOYEE LEGACY FUND SEPARATELY MANAGED (DISCRETIONARY) EMERGENCY RELIEF by your trusted Financial Advisor FUND FUND GRANT TO 5 CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS EDUCATION HEALTH CHURCHES DISASTER NONPROFIT YOUTH & HUMAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS 5 Foundation Financials FOUNDATION ASSETS, GIFTS & GRANTS Since its inception in 2000, Community Foundation of Acadiana has received cumulative gifts of more than $253 million and has made cumulative grants of more than $127 million (as of December 31, 2018).

  • The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area
    The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area Selected Level 0 Cultural Landscape Assessments 2010 Suzanne Turner Associates, LLC Consultant for Historic Landscapes 635 Louisiana Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Suzanne Turner, FASLA John Welch, RLA Nick Musso, ASLA This study was initiated by the State of Louisiana, Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, in order to fulfill federal mandates related to funding and designation of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. Debra Credeur, Executive Director of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area spearheaded the selection of the cultural resources that were surveyed, in order to represent the region in areal extent, cultural resource type, and importance of the different resources in the basin. The primary resources for the site selection process were 1) the National Park Service Cultural Landscape Management Guideline, and 2) a Heritage Resource Screening Process used by a similar heritage area with an approved Management Plan. This process selects resources under the broader categories of cultural, historical, natural and recreational, which is consistent with our enabling legislation, and then breaks these categories down further into themes. The National Park Service Planning Team then consulted with the State of Louisiana Architectural Historian and National Register Coordinator to select National Historic Landmarks and other cultural landscapes that reflect heritage area themes. Effort was made to have all types of landscapes represented as well as all 14 parishes. The individual assessments will be used as references for similar types of resources for projects in the future. Suzanne Turner Associates was contracted to conduct a “Level 0” assessment of selected properties within the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, and to document the basic history of the site, construct a bibliography and partial literature review for each subject property, and document existing threats to the cultural assets of the region.

While the acts and sacrifices of many have allowed minority groups to advance in this country, the movement to guarantee certain liberties continues. The perception of certain rights as personal rights has historically been intertwined with the 2013-2014 LBA President concept of legal rights. The legal profession has been on both sides of various Tricia R. Pierre, Attorney at Law issues, and ongoing challenges to what a person is entitled represent a new era of movement. This will affect each of us in some way or another and is the commencement of the oral history project, so I wish to thank the prompts me to reflect on what the lessons of the past should teach me about committee members involved in that effort. LBA’s goal is to memorialize inclusion of others in the legal profession and in my personal dealing with the accomplishments of past presidents and giants in the legal profession.

The idea of extending a want to also thank the Promulgator Editorial Board for bringing you great ladder down to lift others up, as pioneers of the civil rights movement did, editions of the Promulgator.

Some were doubters who unknowingly enhanced our desire to succeed. Most were genuine in their actions and suggestions. Everyone I encountered on this project belonged to the latter group and I would certainly be remiss if I failed to publicly express my deepest thanks to all of them.
