Baton Rouge LA cares about it’s residents’ quality of life and is now going through all measure possible to prove it! The Baton Rouge Area Foundation is making sure certain community issues and community statistics are [now] tracked by a project named The Quality of Life Project.

According to a February press release, "The project will provide a roadmap for community improvement, telling us where we are, how far we’ve come and where we need to go."

Meetings held early spring through the middle of May gave residents a chance to participate and to choose the indicators to be tracked by the Foundation. These measures included issues such as drive-time traffic, art museum visits, dropout rates, miles of walking trails. The Foundation will then use the data to help guide millions of dollars in grants each year.

The Baton Rouge Area Foundation is a foundation created to connect philanthropists and nonprofit organizations, and manage projects that can improve the community. So far, they have been successful in acheiving their goals as they are now a community foundation with nearly $540 million in assests.
