What Culture Aid Nola does
Mission
To feed the people and feed the culture of new orleans by directing barrier-free no-stigma aid and resources to under-served members of the hospitality and culture community, serving all with dignity, grace, and humanity. We believe that aid should be widely accessible to all.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Twice-weekly food distribution: a no-barrier, no-stigma food pantry distributing free food twice a week to under-served members of the hospitality and culture community.
$1,464,315 spentof which $1,308,308 as grants100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,464,315.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $593k to $338k (−43%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 1% · 2022 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of CULTURE AID NOLA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base narrowed from 13 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $198k → $2k.
6 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $175k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Greater New Orleans Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CULTURE AID NOLA raised.
From the IRS filings of CULTURE AID NOLA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CULTURE AID NOLA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
58% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CULTURE AID NOLA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 50% · 2022 23% · 2023 63% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
CULTURE AID NOLA draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Louisiana, across 15 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $91k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
CULTURE AID NOLA's revenue fell 22% between 2021 and 2024.
