OVERVIEW

Our mission is to network, organize, speak, and serve each other as women and educate our  next generation of girls. We know as women S.T.E.A.M. careers are the future in bringing the diversity of our next generation of women together, and so, we start with our girls of today!

Rock & Rouge Foundation awards up to (5) girls summer camp tuition with an organization who provides STEAM education in our local community. These camps introduce girls, ages 8-14, to workshop(s) in science, technology, engineering, arts, & mathematics partnered with Rock & Rouge Foundation. We believe careers begin to form in the mind at childhood. Given the introduction and guidance, with these summer camps, the next generation of young ladies will have a promising future. The Foundation, also, gives small donations to women in time of financial crisis due to health issues impairing a woman’s ability to work. We look to expand this side of our foundation into women’s emergency needs.

The Rock & Rouge Festival established The Rock & Rouge Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, dedicated to the empowerment of women’s culture, and granting small scholarships to summer camps for girls pursuing interests in the education of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and

Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.)The Rock & Rouge Foundation promotes the education, empowerment, and enrichment of young girls and women from all backgrounds in Southern Louisiana, specifically the Greater New Orleans Area. The way we accomplish this is two-fold. First, we provide small grants to 5 girls in underserved communities through fundraising events, like The Rock & Rouge Women’s Music & Food Festival, and secondly, through generous contributors like you.  As Rock & Rouge donor you may specify what department you would like your contribution to be used, either The Festival, The Foundation or The Grants. Our grants send 5 girls to a  STEAM summer camp, or buys a musical instrument or materials needed for a promising girl interested in the visual arts who may not have the opportunity to explore painting due to family budget constraints.      

If you are interested in supporting The Rock & Rouge Foundation please know that your donation is deeply appreciated and tax-deductible! The Rock & Rouge Foundation will supply you or your company with a “gift in kind” donation letter of recognition to your accountant(s).
