- Restrictions
- In evaluating requests, the ella west freeman foundation gives special consideration to organizations in the greater new orleans area. The ella west freeman foundation supports a variety of programs in the fields of civic affairs, community development, the arts, education and human resources. Priority is given to funding for specific projects or programs incorporating well-defined objectives and timetables and promising broad public benefits. They are usually given for a period of time not exceeding two years. Longer term projects will usually require evaluation for further funding. Capital projects are considered for organizations with strong records of community services, sustaining grants to organizations are given a lower priority. Decisions regarding grants will be made only at regularly scheduled meetings of the trustees which are usually held twice a year in the spring and fall.
