Uniting people and resources to create lasting changes in St. John the Baptist Parish by focusing on the building blocks for a better life- HEALTH, EDUCATION AND FINANCIAL STABILITY
St John United Way’s largest recent grant was $329,227 to St John Recovery Group for disaster recovery, a signal that emergency response is part of its local grantmaking alongside year-round support for health, education, and financial stability. The foundation’s recent awards also show sustained backing for parish-based organizations that deliver basic services and community support in St. John Parish. In 2024, New Wine Christian Development Corporation received $132,689 for program allocation and disaster recovery, placing it among the clearest examples of how the funder combines designated support with broader community investment. Other local awards include funding for St John Ministry of Care, Metro Centers for Community Advocacy, and Child Advocacy Services, each tied to parish needs through program allocation or designation. The pattern is closely tied to St. John the Baptist Parish, where the foundation supports partner agencies, local programs, and community response organizations. Across its recent grants, St John United Way backs a mix of emergency relief, ongoing community services, and targeted local initiatives rather than a single narrow program area.
Health, education, and financial stability form the core of St John United Way’s partner-agency funding, but the foundation also supports targeted local programs when needs are not met by existing agencies. For example, it gave $22,538 to Dolly Parton Imagination Library for program allocation, supporting early childhood literacy through monthly books for children from birth to age five in St. John Parish. In food security, it awarded $30,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of Gno through a designation grant. Domestic violence and survivor services also appear in the grant list: Metro Centers for Community Advocacy received $30,000 for program allocation. Disaster response is another active area, shown by the $12,000 program-allocation grant to American Red Cross.
Typical grant size centers in the low five figures: p25 is $12,000, median is $19,250, and p75 is $25,000. The recent grant list shows both very large disaster-recovery awards and a long tail of smaller program and designation grants. Recipients also appear in multiple years, including Second Harvest Food Bank of Gno, Child Advocacy Services, New Wine Christian Development Corporation, Metro Centers for Community Advocacy, American Red Cross, St John Ministry of Care, and Gno Therapeutic Riding Center, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. St John United Way is a public charity and funds individuals: false. Annual application and review processes are used for partner-agency programs, and several programs accept unsolicited requests.
