The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) is pleased to announce the opportunity for nonprofit organizations in Louisiana to submit an external organization profile (Profile). The LDOE is required, under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Title IV, Part B, 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), to provide a list of pre-screened external organizations.
The term “external organization” is defined by ESSA as: “(A) a nonprofit organization with a record of success in running or working with before and after school (or summer recess) programs and activities; or (B) in the case of a community where there is no such organization, a nonprofit organization in the community that enters into a written agreement or partnership with an organization described in subparagraph (A) to receive mentoring and guidance in running or working with before and after school (or summer recess) programs and activities” (ESSA, section 4201).
To meet the requirements for the minimum record of success, any organization submitting a Profile must:
If your organization meets the record of success requirements, you are eligible to complete and submit the Profile at 26-28 LDOEExOrgProfile no later than 2:00 p.m. CDT on October 5, 2026. The next opportunity to submit a Profile will occur during the summer of 2028. LDOE will post the updated pre-screened list by December 2026.
Please note that this solicitation will not result in a contract with LDOE. Nor does the listing represent an endorsement by LDOE. LDOE will verify “good standing” status using the debarred vendor list when the Profile is submitted and periodically thereafter. All eligible pre-screened organizations will remain on the list for two years from the date posted on the LDOE website.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Taylin Carr at Taylin.Carr@la.gov.

One of the most significant challenges facing nonprofit organizations today is the rising cost of employee benefits and insurance coverage. Louisiana Alliance for Nonprofits is continuing to explore potential solutions that could help nonprofit organizations access more affordable and sustainable options in the future.
To support this effort, we are asking nonprofit leaders to take a few minutes to complete a brief survey. The information collected will be used solely to help us better understand the current landscape and evaluate opportunities that may benefit the nonprofit sector as a whole.
All responses will be kept confidential and will not impact your organization's current insurance coverage, employee benefits, or relationships with brokers, agents, or providers. This is strictly an information-gathering initiative designed to help us assess the feasibility of future options.
Your participation is critical. The more organizations that respond, the stronger our ability to identify and advocate for solutions that could make a meaningful difference for nonprofits across Louisiana.
Please take a few moments to complete the survey and help us build a stronger future for Louisiana's nonprofit community.
