BayouGives 2020 Is Postponed

March 16, 2020
The 2020 BayouGives community giving event originally scheduled for April 28 has been postponed until further notice so you, your nonprofit and donors can focus on what is most important at this time – protecting yourselves and providing help to those most impacted by the pandemic and the resulting economic downturn.
Bayou Community Foundation will be working on rescheduling the 2020 BayouGives event for later this year, and we will announce that new date when confirmed.
Nonprofit registration will re-open accordingly for this new date and all current registrations will be honored.
