IMPACT 59 POWERED BY ENTERGY AWARDS OVER $3.5 MILLION IN GRANTS TO 65 REGIONAL
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IMPACTING GREATER NEW ORLEANS 

NEW ORLEANS (December 13, 2024) – With just 59 days until Super Bowl LIX, the
New Orleans Super Bowl LIX Host Committee, NFL Foundation, Entergy, the New
Orleans Saints, Ochsner Health, Venture Global, United Way of Southeast
Louisiana, and the NOLA Coalition announced the distribution of more than $3.5
million in grants to 65 nonprofit organizations in the Greater New Orleans
region.

Impact 59 Powered by Entergy, the official Super Bowl LIX Legacy Grant Program,
is designed to provide lasting support for local organizations working in key
areas such as economic development, education, workforce training, youth
development, health and wellness, and equity and inclusion. The program is
committed to creating a meaningful legacy in New Orleans long after the city
hosts its record-tying 11th Super Bowl on Feb. 9, 2025.

During the event, the Super Bowl LIX Host Committee, led by the New Orleans
Saints and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, and its partner
organizations highlighted the importance of giving back to the community through
the Host Committee theme of “It’s what we do.”

“Super Bowl LIX is about more than just a game,” said Gayle Benson, owner of the
New Orleans Saints and long-time philanthropist. “It’s about showing up for our
city, supporting our neighbors, and ensuring that we leave a positive, lasting
legacy in the community. This program is part of what we do – to create
meaningful change and provide lasting resources for the people who call New
Orleans home.”

The grants awarded through Impact 59 Powered by Entergy have been allocated to
nonprofit organizations focused on programs that foster positive change in youth
development, workforce training, education, health and wellness, and equity and
inclusion. These organizations are receiving critical support for their efforts
to improve lives in New Orleans and surrounding areas, including Orleans,
Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist,
Plaquemines, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes. A grant selection
committee carefully reviewed eligibility and compliance and made award
determinations based on the need, merit, and potential impact of each project.

“We understand how much Super Bowl LIX means to this community and we’re pleased
to help give back to New Orleanians who have welcomed us with open arms,” said
NFL Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the NFL Foundation
Alexia Gallagher. “The NFL Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of
those touched by the game of football. We’re proud to work with the Super Bowl
LIX Host Committee to provide vital funding through the Legacy Grant Program to
dozens of local organizations supporting communities in need throughout New
Orleans and Louisiana.”

“Super Bowl LIX provides a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the
host community,” said Drew Marsh, Entergy Chair and Chief Executive
Officer. “Through Impact 59 Powered by Entergy, we are proud to support local
organizations to help them continue their vital work and strengthen our city for
years to come.”

The announcement of the 65 grant recipients reinforces the New Orleans Super
Bowl Host Committee’s motto: “It’s what we do.” Impact 59 Powered by Entergy
ensures these local organizations receive much-needed funding and resources,
furthering their critical work and fostering long-term change in the community.

“At the end of the day, Super Bowl LIX is much more than just a game,” said Jay
Cicero, President and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and the
Super Bowl LIX Host Committee. “We’re only 59 days away from the opportunity to
showcase our city, support our nonprofit community, boost Louisiana’s economy,
and celebrate our rich culture. We are proud to contribute to this incredible
legacy that extends beyond the game and has a positive impact on the people of
New Orleans.”

Impact 59 is just one of several programs the Host Committee and NFL bring to
New Orleans ahead of the big game. NFL Source, a diverse supplier program,
launched earlier this year and engaged more than 200 underrepresented businesses
in the greater New Orleans Area. Earlier this month, NFL Green and the Host
Committee kicked off two sustainability projects in the city, with more to come
as we get closer to Feb. 9, 2025.
