The Liberty Foundation
The Liberty Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation which was organized by Liberty Bank and Trust Company in 1993 to facilitate the bank's philanthropic housing and education initiatives including, but not limited to, assisting in the implementation and support of community-based endeavors that are designed to improve the quality of life, expand access to secondary and higher education, and to increase the availability of affordable housing in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas of Louisiana and in Jackson, Mississippi.
Its purpose is to have a positive impact on the people and the communities which Liberty serves, primarily by supporting education, neighborhood restoration, and affordable housing. The Foundation serves as a catalyst, providing seed resources that others are empowered to nurture, harvest and re-plant. Its objective is to make its community self-sustaining. Since 1993, the Liberty Foundation has raised and donated more than $1 million.
