Our mission is to unite human and financial resources to enhance the quality of life in the Northshore region.
A $1.5 million general-support grant to Christwood stands out as the largest recent award from Northshore Community Foundation, and it captures the foundation’s preference for large, community-serving commitments in the Northshore area. Across its recent grants, the foundation backs a mix of human services, education, health, disaster response, nonprofit capacity, and local economic development, with many awards tied to capital projects or ongoing program support. Northshore Community Foundation also appears as a funder of both place-based institutions and regional initiatives. Recent support to St. Tammany Parish Development District included general support as well as work tied to logistics park preparation, an equity fellowship program, and the African American Business Initiative. The foundation has also funded NAMI St. Tammany for the WellConnected program and a new training facility, showing a willingness to pair operating support with capacity-building needs. Scholarships are another visible part of the portfolio. Named scholarship programs support student swimmers, students in the Northshore region, mathematics excellence, STEM education, and educational access, while other grants address family services, safer neighborhoods, public health, and community resilience.
Education shows up in both scholarships and school-related support. Northshore Community Foundation gave $150,000 to First Baptist Christian School for its capital campaign and $115,500 to Mount Vernon Presbyterian School Inc. for the scoreboard and athletics. It also sponsors multiple scholarship opportunities, including the South Slidell Swimming Scholarship and the Barbara T. Wilcox Scholarship for Excellence in Mathematics. Health and human services are another clear thread. The foundation gave $95,000 to First United Methodist Church of Slidell Inc. for general support and organ donation, and $61,072 to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center for general support. In community care, it awarded $211,726 to Family Promise of St Tammany Parish for general support and construction of the Family Promise Day Center. Disaster response and resilience are present as well. First Baptist Church Covington received $115,000 for general support and hurricane relief, while St Luke the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church - Good Samaritan Ministry received $55,659 for general support, disaster relief and response, and energy-efficient window installation.

Northshore Community Foundation’s typical grant size sits at a p25 of $10,000, a median of $13,600, and a p75 of $30,000, even though its recent portfolio also includes several much larger capital and operating grants. The foundation is a public charity with local geographic scope, and its recent grants show repeated support for some recipients across multiple years rather than one-off awards. NAMI St. Tammany, First Baptist Church Covington, First United Methodist Church of Slidell Inc., National World War II Museum Inc., Mount Vernon Presbyterian School Inc., and St Tammany Parish Development District all appear more than once in the recent grants list. The foundation accepts unsolicited applications for its Competitive Grants and Chevron Community Fellows Program.
Grantmaking is highly concentrated in Louisiana, which accounts for 83% of grants in the foundation’s home state.

The country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 213 grants to U.S. recipients.
