The GPOA Foundation is an independent grant-making foundation based in Mandeville, LA, dedicated to supporting programs that empower children and youth in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. With an annual grant budget of approximately $500,000, the foundation focuses on promoting early childhood education, ensuring children read on grade level by third grade, and equipping at-risk youth for work and independence.
Founded in 1979, the GPOA Foundation emerged from the German Protestant Orphan Asylum's State Street Children's Home, which provided shelter, education, and vocational training to children in need. Today, the foundation continues its mission to improve the lives of children in Louisiana by funding initiatives that address educational, developmental, and social-emotional needs, particularly for those facing special challenges or disadvantaged circumstances.
