Funded by Hancock Whitney through its Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) program, the competitive grants align with the bank’s larger community development efforts throughout the Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas regions. This initiative is another way that we reinvest in the communities we serve according to our core values and our mission to help people achieve their financial goals and dreams.

Hancock Whitney Bank Grants to Help Community

 

Partnership with the Greater New Orleans Foundation

The Greater New Orleans Foundation was instrumental in creating awareness about the grants across the Hancock Whitney footprint and managed the grant application process. We received a tremendous outpouring of interest in the competitive grants - 266 grant applications - and are very grateful for their partnership in managing this strong response and their commitment to our communities.

We feel that our applicants are outstanding, and our winners are bright, shining forces for opportunities in their respective communities. We wish to thank and recognize all grant applicants and celebrate the grant winners. As we continue to expand our community development efforts, we’ll look for more opportunities to partner with organizations in the communities we serve.
