Overview

Mission

North Louisiana Interfaith is a broad-based coalition of congregations and community-based organizations in North Louisiana with the capacity to address community problems large and small. The coalition is deliberate about crossing the lines of race religion neighborhood and political affiliation. We work on issues affecting families and communities and we are a strictly non-partisan organization.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our Medicaid Unwind team consisted of 6 trained canvassers that reached out to people that had not renewed their Medicaid status after the pandemic. Our canvassers connected people with the right resources so they would not lose their coverage.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
