About us
Opening doors for children in northeast Louisiana
Plondo Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2016 and based in Monroe, Louisiana. We work so that every child — regardless of circumstance — has the basics of life and the chance to thrive.
Our mission
To make sure that every child in northeast Louisiana, and beyond, enjoys the basic needs in life: shelter, food, and water — and the education and support to build a brighter future.
What we believe
- Every child matters. Potential is universal; opportunity should be too.
- Dignity first. We deliver help with respect, never judgment.
- Practical impact. We meet real, immediate needs — food, water, shelter, school — while investing in long-term growth.
- Community-rooted. We serve our neighbors in northeast Louisiana and grow outward from there.
How we work
We channel donations into four focused program areas — scholarships, living-expense support, essential resources, and youth sports — chosen because they remove the barriers that most often keep children from learning and growing. We keep our operations lean and our giving secure, so more of every dollar reaches the children who need it.
Our legal status
Plondo Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, tax-exempt since June 6, 2016. Our federal tax identification number (EIN) is 81-3596129. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
