from the chair 

Matthew G. McKay, 

Chairman of the Board 

During 2011, the Foundation was immersed in issues 

concerning water. That’s appropriate, considering we live in Louisiana, where the 

differences between land and water are not always distinct. 

First, there was the $100 million granted to us by BP in 2010 for helping deepwater rig workers 

following the oil spill disaster. The Foundation paid out two rounds of grants to rig workers 

and those who supported the drillers, with about $80 million remaining in a fund to benefit 

the Gulf Coast. 

After assisting those deepwater rig workers impacted by the moratorium, we discovered what 

the oil industry already knew. Oil companies valued their skilled workers, retaining them to 

improve the rigs during the drilling halt. What’s especially encouraging is that 80% of these 

prized employees are Louisiana residents. 

Under terms of the act of donation, what’s left of the money is being granted to nonprofits that 

are working to benefit the people, wildlife and ecology of the Gulf Coast. 

The BP oil spill was an abrupt and unexpected blow for the region, and recovery is ongoing. But 

there is a larger, more ominous threat to our precious coastlands that we must confront. Rising 

seas and subsiding land, both in Louisiana and in other river deltas, are causing the loss of entire 

coastal communities. The persistent erosion of our coastline may not be a sudden, shocking 

disaster like the oil spill, but its consequences are ultimately far more devastating, displacing not 

only our neighbors but eventually requiring billions upon billions of dollars in infrastructure. 

In December of 2011, we culminated nearly two years of work by convening the first official 

meeting of The Water Institute of the Gulf—a research resource that we believe will emerge as 

a leading world authority for the science and solutions of managing deltaic areas threatened by 

rising waters and subsiding land. 

One of our most ambitious civic leadership projects, The Water Institute has begun its work in 

2012. Our economist friends tell us that the Institute could spin off thousands of related jobs 

over the next 10 to 20 years. What’s more, Louisiana can proudly show the world that it is home 

to this forward-thinking knowledge enterprise. 

The Foundation’s staff couldn’t do this work—and the other efforts detailed within this annual 

report—without our fund donors and members. As you may know, fund donors provide most 

of the funding for grants. Meanwhile, members are our advocates and underwriters for civic 

leadership initiatives, such as The Water Institute. 

Looking back on 2011, we expressedly thank our fund donors and members. Because of you, 

more than 1.5 million people living across South Louisiana are able to overcome the challenges 

that confront their communities—making each year a little better than the one before.

in memoriam 

Tribute to John W. Barton Sr. by John G. Davies, Baton Rouge 

Area Foundation CEO and President.—Annual Meeting, March 21, 2012 

In March 2012, John Walton Barton Sr. died shortly after his 95th birthday. His life was a 

model for others. It was a rich, rewarding and meaningful life. 

Much has been said about Mr. Barton and his extraordinary and varied contributions to the 

region. 

Yes, he was the father of modern Baton Rouge and he stewarded our region to this exciting and 

promising point of our evolution. 

Yes, he was an outdoorsman extraordinaire who played a major role in bringing back the wild 

turkey populations throughout the country. 

Yes, he built a successful company in our community that brought him recognition as an astute 

businessman. 

Yes, he held precious, above all, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

And yes, he founded or shaped virtually every important notprofit organization to have served 

our community in the last 50 years. 

What a life. What a rich life. 

But there are two points I would like to make tonight about our founder. 

People puzzle over the concoction of qualities in John W. Barton Sr. that allowed him to have 

a broad and deep impact. Was it his compassion for his fellow man? Was it his abiding love 

for the region of South Louisiana? Was it his significant business acumen? Was it his deep 

understanding of human nature? Or was it his twinkling eyes and magnetic charm? 

It was probably all of the above. 

What I can affirm is that a singular quality of Mr. Barton was that he connected with people at 

a level that led each individual to believe that she or he had a very special bond to him. There are 

hundreds of people who believe that their relationship with this remarkable man was profound 

and unique. 

And it was. 

It is this magical quality of connectivity to people at a very human level that helped Mr. Barton 

move our community progressively forward to be increasingly a better community. All of us 

wanted to embrace his vision, his passions. 

Secondly, Mr. Barton represents the end of an era to many of us. He was the last surviving of our 

11 founders; 12 if you properly include his wife, Scott Duchein Barton. That era of ladies and 

gentlemen—of true ladies and gentlemen—who shaped the community we now live in is gone. 

The mantle has been passed to those of us 50 and older who inherit the significant responsibility 

to mentor the next generations and to pass on as great a number of achievements as Mr. Barton’s 

generation passed on to us.

about the Baton Rouge Area Foundation 

MISSON 

The Baton Rouge Area Foundation unites human and financial resources to enhance the quality 

of life in South Louisiana. 

We are a community foundation, a nonprofit that pursues its mission in two ways. 

1. We are intermediaries between philanthropists and the causes they seek to support. Generous 

donors open charitable funds with us; to help them promote their causes, we provide them with 

knowledge about local needs and opportunities. We also manage the funds and the paperwork, 

making their philanthropy effortless, effective and enduring. Our donors have granted hundreds 

of millions of dollars to nonprofits over nearly five decades. 

2. Our civic leadership staff takes on essential projects, which we believe will fundamentally alter 

the direction of South Louisiana in good ways. Among our largest ongoing initiatives was creating 

The Water Institute of the Gulf, which aims to become a global leader among scientific resources, 

providing intelligence to combat rising seas and land loss. You have seen some of our other civic 

leadership projects: downtown and inner-city redevelopment, education reform, health care 

reform, and urban planning in Baton Rouge and across Louisiana. 

How we are governed 

The Foundation is governed by up to 15 directors who are elected by members to three-year terms. 

Directors may serve two consecutive terms. The immediate past Board Chair serves as a member 

of the Executive Committee and member of the Board, as does the CEO of the Foundation.

2011 quick review 

Enhancements to the Shaw Center, which includes the 

Manship Theatre, were initiated. Among the upgrades, the 

Manship, an asset of the Foundation, will have a marquee 

entrance for the Hartley/Vey Studio on North Boulevard. 

Construction begins in spring 2012. | Victor Lavalle won the 

fourth annual Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence. 

Foundation donors established the prize to honor Mr. Gaines, a 

world-renowned author, and to support rising African American 

writers. | Created by the Foundation and city government, the 

EBR Redevelopment Authority entered its second full year 

with a flurry of activity. The Authority issued neighborhood 

improvement plans, granted New Market Tax Credits to 

projects in underserved and rural areas, and invested with 

businesses in façade improvements. | The Hilton Baton Rouge, 

an asset of the Wilbur Marvin Foundation, celebrated its fifth 

year and opened the first Viking Cooking School Outdoors in 

the nation. Refurbished with a mix of equity, bank financing 

and tax credits, the hotel has been integral in downtown’s 

recovery. | Real estate assets of the Foundation and its 

support organizations improved in 2011, letting us pursue 

the mission of developing property for the greater good. | The 

Northshore Community Foundation, an affiliate, unveiled 

a plan to build a town center in Mandeville. | A performing 

arts convention selected Baton Rouge, largely because of a 

blossoming downtown. Downtown has been revitalized by 

following a blueprint paid for by the Foundation 11 years ago. 

| Foundation assets surpassed $600 million for the first time.

civic leadership initiatives 

Our civic leadership initiatives are intended to steer 

communities toward solutions for primary problems. These projects are undertaken by 

our civic leadership staff, with John Davies, our CEO, in charge of short-term efforts of less 

than a year, and John Spain, our executive vice president, leading initiatives that can take years 

to complete. But before the Foundation commits to a project, a case for it must be made to our 

civic leadership committee, whose members are listed on page 27. 

Our endeavors in civic leadership have produced substantial results, including the creation 

of the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority, which has moved quickly to assist in the 

rebirth of neglected neighborhoods. We are now working with school officials on educational 

reforms, and we have engaged health care leaders in an effort to establish an economic corridor 

based on their services. Listed below are select civic leadership projects that were begun or 

advanced in 2011. 

the water institute of the gulf 

All along our coastline are storm-tossed houses, tilting on their 

stilts, and abandoned homesteads where the water has crept in under them. They are the 

evidence of invisible but powerful forces working to wash away Louisiana’s coastlands and 

the communities that inhabit them. We believe that The Water Institute of the Gulf will be 

a convincing response to the problem of eroding marshes, rising seas and a changing climate. 

With government and university leaders, the Institute began to operate late last year, first 

defining its work as scientific research to inform public policy, then hiring an interim director 

and working to secure steady funding sources. As a stand-alone nonprofit, the Institute could 

one day employ hundreds of researchers and anchor Louisiana’s reputation as a leader in 

scientific solutions to the problem of eroding coasts around the globe.

smiley heights 

Redevelopment requires patience and persistence. Smiley Heights 

began as a Foundation project following Hurricane Katrina. It was intended to provide a 

community for East Baton Rouge’s rapidly growing population. But it fizzled because the 

federal government didn’t come through with financing. Nearly six years after the storm, 

the smoldering idea for Smiley Heights was rekindled, this time with education facilities 

envisioned as anchors for the community. Located on 200 acres surrounding North 

Ardenwood Drive, and bordered by North Lobdell Boulevard and Greenwell Springs Road, 

the neighborhood will feature a career high school operated by EBR Schools and a proposed 

automotive training center, all surrounded by mixed-income homes. Greenspaces and shops 

will also be an integral part of the community. The Smiley Heights neighborhood is one of 

the visionary undertakings of the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority, which was 

also formed with the Foundation’s assistance. In 2011, the Authority secured funding for the 

project and signed contracts to buy the land that will become Smiley Heights.

companion animal alliance 

Among the Foundation’s projects was the collaboration with 

animal advocates in forming the Companion Animal Alliance. The CAA is an 

independent nonprofit that is dedicated to humane alternatives to euthanasia for the problem 

of unwanted dogs and cats. The CAA took over management of the EBR Animal Shelter in 

mid-2011. Within just three months, the percentage of dogs and cats saved from certain death 

more than tripled, from 20% to 66%. In cooperation with Yelp BR!, Project Purr and Friends 

of the Animals, CAA has found homes for thousands of adoptable companion animals. The 

Alliance has set a goal of saving 90% of the animals that come through the doors of the shelter. 

In light of what they’ve done already, that goal no longer seems audacious; it is now within 

reach.

old south baton rouge 

The collection of neighborhoods stretching between 

downtown and LSU is known as Old South Baton Rouge. Despite its prime location, 

the community is a patchwork of poverty and decay, resulting from the flight of middle-class 

African American residents searching for better opportunities in the suburbs and in larger 

cities. But, recently, the outmigration has been reversed, and the neighborhoods have seen a 

small surge in growth. Repopulation has mostly been on the edges of Old South Baton Rouge, 

where there is an economic base comprised of LSU students and staff. But now adventurous 

developers are beginning to build houses deep within the community. What’s driving the 

rebirth of these neighborhoods? In part, it is the Foundation’s framework for revival, which 

was written by urban planners and residents, working together, in 2006. Since then, the 

Foundation, the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority and the Center for Planning 

Excellence have provided resources to rebuild Old South Baton Rouge. From this have come 

the stirrings of new life: homes are being fixed up, community gardens are being planted, the 

Lincoln Theater is being reimagined as a cultural resource, residents are receiving job training 

and gathering places are being improved. In the battle against blight, there is still much to do 

before victory can be declared there. But, rather than being a place that people seek to escape, 

Old South Baton Rouge is once again becoming a place that people want to call home, as it was 

for so many generations before.

futureBR 

Traffic in the parish is a tangled mess. Streets don’t connect, 

main thoroughfares are heavily congested, and at rush hour everything comes to a standstill. 

FutureBR is a way out. With ideas and input from residents, Fregonese Associates has created 

a new comprehensive plan for the parish. It’s called FutureBR. Think of it as a blueprint for 

growth over the next three decades. That includes repairing the broken street grid, turning 

select thoroughfares into destinations and aligning medical centers along Essen Lane and 

Bluebonnet Boulevard into a crucial health care corridor. The Foundation provided money 

to review the previous comprehensive plan, which ultimately led to the creation of FutureBR. 

Parish government adopted the new plan in 2010, and Mayor Kip Holden was set to hire a 

cabinet-level person to implement it. If we follow the plan, the city will function much better 

in the coming years, and, among other great benefits, that means fewer traffic jams. 

21


citystats survey 

Is Baton Rouge really divided into four sectors with 

competing interests—North Baton Rouge, South Baton Rouge, Southeast Baton 

Rouge, and Baker/Central/Zachary? Or do the people who live in these areas, in fact, share 

a common vision for the future of Baton Rouge? In fall 2011, a CityStats survey found the 

answer. Studying those four regions of the parish, the survey sample was deep enough to 

draw some surprising conclusions. For example, there was unexpected agreement among 

the majority in wanting government to spend the same amount of money—or more—on 

downtown over the next decade. Respondents also told us what they would support with taxes, 

providing clear policy directions for elected leaders. The entire survey is available at 

Facebook.com/BRCityStats or by requesting it from mverma@braf.org.

John W. Barton Sr. 

Excellence in Nonprofit Management Award 

In each of the past 11 years, the Foundation has honored people 

working at the region’s nonprofits. Our fund donors nominate people for the John. W. Barton 

Sr. Excellence in Nonprofit Management Award, which is named after Mr. Barton, among 

the founders of our community foundation. Past chairs of the Foundation choose winners 

from the nominated list, and awards are bestowed upon the selected at the annual meeting in 

March. Each receives $10,000 with the requirement that they spend it on themselves. 

The Barton Award winners for 2012 

Michael Manning, president and CEO of the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. Food 

distribution has grown by nearly 60% since Manning was chosen in 2004 to run the nonprofit. 

Most recently, his organization raised more than $10 million to retrofit a donated warehouse 

that will improve efficiency while expanding reach, such as permitting the repackaging of bulk 

orders into sizes fit for families. 

Keith Ouchley, executive director of The Nature Conservancy of Louisiana. Under 

Ouchley, the Conservancy has preserved thousands of acres of land in the state. In Morehouse 

Parish, the Conservancy also has removed levees to reconnect the Ouachita River with a 25- 

acre plain, hoping that the experiment produces new forest land while reducing nutrients that 

flow into the Gulf of Mexico to create a dead zone. 

Michael Tipton, executive director of Teach for America for five years. Tipton joined 

TFA as a corps member and zoomed up the ranks. When hired, he was the second youngest 

executive director. Under his leadership, local funding support has grown from $600,000 to 

$2.5 million. He wants to expand TFA here by 33% to 200 teachers in the next two years. 

25

governance 

The Baton Rouge Area Foundation is governed by directors who are elected to three-year terms. Members may serve two 

consecutive terms. The Board is comprised of 15 directors elected by the members. The immediate past Board Chair serves as a 

member of the Executive Committee and member of the Board, as does the CEO of the Foundation.

gifts and grants 

Donors come to us with a desire to change the world, and we 

make it easier for them. The Foundation is here to help them give their neighbors 

a chance to prosper. With a minimum of $10,000, philanthropists can open charitable 

funds—a donor account for doing good. Donor Advised Funds and Corporate Advised 

Funds are the most popular, comprising more than 40% of all funds at the Foundation. They 

allow the donor to recommend grants to nonprofits, which are voted on by the Foundation 

board, as required by the IRS. To donors, we also offer: 1) Designated Beneficiary Funds, 

which automatically give to a nonprofit of their choice; 2) Field of Interest Funds, which are 

dedicated to a particular area of concern, such as education or the arts; and 3) Scholarships 

to cover tuition and education expenses. The Foundation’s Donor Services department works 

with donors to open and then oversee charitable accounts, while the Partnership Relations 

department provides information about nonprofits. 

Food bank 

Our donors provided millions to help the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank reach an ambitious 

goal: $12.1 million to retrofit a warehouse to expand its facilities. The 174,000-square-foot 

warehouse was donated by Albert Fraenkel and his family through the Foundation at a 

value of $2.2 million. Facing a ticking clock, the Food Bank raised $10.5 million, including 

the value of the warehouse, to secure a challenge grant of $1.2 million from the Kresghe 

Foundation. The Food Bank expects to be in its warehouse later this year. Among other 

things, the facility will let the nonprofit repackage bulk food in a “clean room” to sizes fit 

for families and buy larger amounts at lower prices and divide the purchases with other food 

pantries for the hungry. (In 2011, the Foundation and our donors granted $293,580 to the 

Food Bank.) 

Opening Doors 

Innovations coupled with an understanding of community needs is the trademark of Opening 

Doors, a nonprofit that was born from St. John’s United Methodist Church to serve children 

in the dangerous Gardere Lane neighborhoods. Opening Doors, for instance, offers points to 

parents who support their children at the Charlie Thomas Head Start program. That program 

has grown to more than 120 children in 2011 from 19 when it began in 2002. In December, 

parents trade their points for clothes and toys on their children’s wish lists. Another program 

offers a party as an incentive for middle school children to take the LEAP tests, while summer 

camps ensure that children are prepared for the upcoming school year. (The Powell Group 

Fund at the Foundation granted $2,000 to Opening Doors in 2011.) 

45

Alzheimer’s Services 

Alzheimer’s Services of the Capital Area teamed with other nonprofits 

to care for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders, who sometimes 

have been abandoned by family members or have weak family structures. 

ASCA also created Memory Café in 2011 for group counseling of people 

with early onset Alzheimer’s. (Grants by Credit Bureau of Baton Rouge, 

a supporting organization of the Foundation, to this organization was 

$12,442. In total, the Credit Bureau Foundation gave $780,000 from its 

charitable fund last year.)

gifts and grants 

Asparagus Club Scholarship 

The Asparagus Club scholarships at the Baton Rouge Area Foundation are partly responsible 

for well-run neighborhood groceries. Affiliated with the National Grocers Association, the 

Asparagus Club was created in 1909 to generate a spirit of cooperation among members of the 

grocery industry. To improve the industry, the Club began offering scholarships to students 

who wanted careers in the industry, particularly those wishing to work at independent grocers 

or wholesalers. The Club’s scholarship program is among 16 scholarships managed by the 

Foundation. 

Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans 

In 2011, the Gulf Coast Restoration and Protection Foundation, a supporting organization 

of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, granted $18 million to nonprofits to benefit the 

people, wildlife and ecology of the Gulf Coast. Among the grantees were Catholic Charities 

Archdiocese of New Orleans, which received $15 million to serve residents in communities 

recovering from the oil leak. BP donated $100 million after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill 

for grants to workers on deepwater rigs and those directly supporting the deepwater rigs, 

which were told to stop drilling by the federal government. The Foundation met the demand 

from the deepwater rig employees with about $12 million and is granting the rest to nonprofits 

that are working on behalf of the coast. We expect all the funds to be granted over the next 

two years. 


Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation has some new wheels for its eventual new home. 

With gifts from Foundation donors and others who share its vision, the Speech and Hearing 

Foundation is building a $7 million, 26,000-square-foot headquarters at LSU’s South 

Campus on GSRI Road. At the center, which is two-and-a-half times the size of the current 

facility, the nonprofit will provide therapy to more autistic patients, regardless of their ability 

to pay. What’s more, the organization has added mobile services that will offer services to rural 

communities, reaching a population that is often underserved with social services. (Donors 

of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation gave $37,084 to BR Speech and Hearing Foundation in 

2011.) 

Academic Distinction Fund class projects 

Through an endowment managed by the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, the Academic 

Distinction Fund makes grants to support East Baton Rouge public schools. Many of the 

grants underwrite direct projects by teachers. Teacher projects in 2011 included Scope On 

A Rope, in which school students used LSU’s digital microscopes to study the details of 

nature; and Project Learning Tree, which followed a national curriculum to teach about 

trees, including students creating models to understand how seasons impact tree growth and 

development. (Grants from the ADF endowed fund at the Foundation totaled $219,234.)
