FFR is a 501c3 nonprofit, business-to-business program supported entirely by private funding from corporations, foundations, and nonprofit organizations. These organizations sponsor the redevelopment of businesses located in the New Orleans and the Gulf Coast areas that were destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Our support program for entrepreneurs provides planning, information, and coaching that supports them in rebuilding their businesses. Participants develop mission-critical business goals and realistic implementation plans. Seminars provide information about vital resources and how to acquire them. The business coaching program assists entrepreneurs in achieving their goals.
FFR is governed by a nonprofit board and guided by an advisory panel of local and national leaders. The organization has a dedicated staff of full-time professionals, service contractors, and volunteers
