The J B Levert Foundation is a regionally focused Louisiana funder that prioritizes general operating support for local Catholic and community-based nonprofits across St. Charles/Thibodaux and surrounding parishes. Its giving concentrates on basic social services, faith-based charities, local education and health institutions, and small civic/cultural organizations. Grants are typically modest and recurring, signaling steady support for neighborhood institutions rather than one-off large projects.
J B Levert Foundation’s giving is marked by steady general operating support to local Catholic, civic, and social-service organizations across southeast Louisiana. The foundation’s recent grants repeatedly back parish-linked institutions and community nonprofits in places such as Thibodaux, Luling, and St. Martinville, with awards that are usually modest and repeated over time rather than tied to single projects. Among the clearest examples is support for Becket Breaux Community Foundation, which received $7,005 in 2024 and additional grants of $6,340 in 2023 and $6,300 in both 2024 and 2025. The City of Thibodaux also appears twice in the recent grants list, with $6,860 in both 2024 and 2025. Other recurring recipients include St Theresa Center for the Works of Mercy, Community of Jesus Crucified, United Way of St Charles, and The Arc of St Charles. The pattern points to a funder that backs neighborhood institutions with core support and maintains relationships across multiple years. Its portfolio also reaches health, education, and cultural organizations, but the common thread is local institutional support in Louisiana communities.
Catholic ministries and parish-linked organizations are central to the foundation’s giving. Ed White Catholic High School received $3,100 in 2023, while The Catholic Foundation of S Louisiana received $3,000 in 2024 and Community of Jesus Crucified received $2,340 in 2023. The foundation also supports basic human services and local safety-net groups. Catholic Charities - Thibodaux received $3,200 in 2024, United Way of St Charles received $3,000 in 2024 and $2,500 in 2023, and St Charles Soc Concerns Committee received $3,000 in 2024. Environmental and place-based work appears as well. Friends of Bayou Lafourche Inc received $4,400 in 2023, and the foundation gave $1,736 in 2023 to LSU Rural Life Museum, showing attention to both Louisiana heritage and local community institutions.
Typical awards are small: the 25th percentile is $400, the median is $500, and the 75th percentile is $888. That distribution fits a pattern of broad, recurring support rather than large project grants. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Becket Breaux Community Foundation, City of Thibodaux, St Theresa Center for the Works of Mercy, The Arc of St Charles, and United Way of St Charles. The foundation is not listed as funding individuals and does not make program-related investments. The recent grants all use general operating support language, which aligns with the foundation’s emphasis on core organizational sustainability.
