    The Louisiana National Guard Foundation invites you to join us for Break Clays, Build Futures—a community clay shoot that brings together friends, supporters, and patriots for a fun day with a meaningful purpose. This isn't just another shoot—every shell fired helps build a stronger future for the soldiers and families who serve our state and nation.

This includes emergency financial assistance, education support like the Stroud Scholarship, and funding for quality-of-life programs that help ease the unique challenges faced by military families.

    Your Support Makes a Difference

    Emergency Relief When It's Needed Most

    We step in when Guard members face unexpected crises—natural disasters, financial hardships, or family emergencies. Our rapid-response grants ensure soldiers and their families have support when life throws the unexpected their way.

    Scholarships for Guard Families

    Education opens doors. The Louisiana National Guard Foundation provides scholarships to dependents of active Members of the Louisiana National Guard through the MG Glenn Curtis Scholarship program. In addition, scholarships are available to graduates of the Youth Challenge Program to further their educational endeavors.

    Affordable Housing Initiatives

    We work to create safe, affordable housing on or near installations like Jackson Barracks and Training Center Pineville (Formerly Camp Beauregard) through partnerships or new developments, we help ensure that those who serve can live where they work affordably with dignity and stability.

    Honoring Our Legacy Through Museums and Memorials

    The Foundation supports two museums—the Jackson Barracks Military Museum and the Louisiana Maneuvers and Military Museum. Both are free and open to the public.

    Quality-of-Life Programs Beyond the Uniform

    From wellness programs to family support events, we go beyond what the military provides. Our mission is to serve the whole person—before, during, and after their time in uniform.
