RLCF Year End Letter

We look back on 2025 with pride and gratitude for a year filled with growth, creativity, and connection throughout North Louisiana and beyond. Young minds grew further out of their shells through art projects, burgeoning creatives made new relationships within their communities, neighbors are using their voice to share hope with one another, and the creative economy continues to bring more color to all of our lives.

Your support of the Ross Lynn Charitable Foundation has continued to serve as a catalyst for scholarships, artist residencies, communities, and events that bring together people of all ages and backgrounds.

• This summer, our scholarship program helped a Louisiana Tech student attend a prestigious internship in Nashville, Tennessee.

• Our partnership with the Lincoln Parish 4-H engaged over 50 4th through 8th graders in the arts and getting outdoors.

• Twelve artists were directly supported in growing their craft so that they can be the storytellers within their communities.

• A group of women journeyed together on a pilgrimage to Santa Fe, NM.

• We collaborated with several United Methodist churches and partners across Louisiana to help 90+ seekers experience self care and growth via the Enneagram and formation.

• The Gilbert Center opened its doors to thousands of visitors from Louisiana and beyond, inviting them into the many opportunities that appear when you follow your passions, just like Ross and Kit showed us.

Thank you for joining us as we continue to build something beautiful in North Louisiana that is opening eyes and growing lives that give back.

Our community is generous of spirit and everyone has a place in joining the mission, whether it is giving one time or signing up for monthly giving. We are so grateful for our current supporters who faithfully give at levels from $20 to $200 a month and annual supporters who give from $50 to $1000+.

Go to our website at www.rosslynnfoundation.org where you can give electronically. Or you can mail a check for your gift to the Ross Lynn Foundation at P.O. Box 905, Ruston, LA. 71273.

Your support is the foundation of our work, and we are deeply grateful. Together, we are building a brighter future for our communities.
