Geaux Girl Giving Collective

We’re grateful to Foundation for the Mid South for investing in Geaux Girl Giving and our work to move resources, build community, and create spaces where Black women and girls are supported, connected, and positioned to lead.

This support matters because Black women-led organizations remain deeply under-resourced, even as they do some of the most essential work in our communities. At GGG, we’re working to change that by building a philanthropic ecosystem rooted in capital, community, care, and capacity.

Investments like this allow us to deepen our work across Louisiana and the South, strengthen Black women-led organizations, and continue shifting the narrative of who is a philanthropist, whose leadership deserves investment, and who gets to shape the future of our communities.

Built from legacy. Driven by possibility.

In this short clip, learn about why we exist and do what we do for Black women and girls.

We can’t wait to share more of what we’ve been up to!

From starting a scholarship fund, to resourcing Black institutions and building Black power, these women have shaped how I see philanthropy!
1. Osceola McCarty - a laundress who started an endowed Black scholarship fund at USM
2. Madam CJ Walker - a self made millionaire who gave at every step of the way
3. LaTosha Brown LaTosha Brown - a resource mobilizer shifting resources and building Black power

Black Philanthropy Month BackBlack

The Legacy House was created to celebrate the everyday philanthropists and changemakers who have always invested in our communities, often without recognition, applause, or the title of “philanthropist.”

Because long before philanthropy became an institution, it lived in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our traditions.

We believe those stories deserve to be remembered.

And more importantly, they deserve to continue.

Still not over it! Reminiscing on the joy, wisdom and love that was in the room at our Welcome Social.

Thank you, again to our host and amazing panelists and Kieta for sharing their expertise and insights on what’s needed for Black women to thrive. We hit it all - sexual health, maternal health, and wellbeing because all of these work in concert.
