The 2022 Works of Mercy GranteesThe Bishop Stanley Joseph OTT Works of Mercy Trust Fund:
The Bishop Stanley Joseph Ott Works of Mercy Trust Fund was established within the Baton Rouge Area Foundation to continue in a permanent way the principles, spirit and projects of Bishop Stanley Joseph Ott. The Works of Mercy Trust Fund allows our entire community to reach out to those less fortunate, in need and who have nowhere to turn.
Since its establishment, the Works of Mercy Trust has funded over $509K in programs and initiatives.
This year, we awarded $22K to six worthy programs.
