Since 1985, over $4 million has passed through the Baton Rouge State Fair Foundation back into the community. We have a nearly 60-year history of funding community service projects and promoting enrichment opportunities for the children and youth of the Baton Rouge area.
Our donations go to both those in need and those with exceptional achievements. They take three forms:
Our mission is to create and improve opportunities for worthy individuals in the Baton Rouge area. Just by attending the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair, like-minded community members can join us in that mission.
Our board members are proud residents of the greater Baton Rouge area. We look for nonprofits with projects that highlight what’s great about our community and tackle innovative ways to improve.
We go to work in the community in various ways: recognizing promising teens, funding endowed scholarships, and awarding Worthy Cause Grants that have transformed the greater Baton Rouge area since 1985.
