Entergy Micro Grants — Louisiana

Entergy’s Micro Grants program accepts requests of up to $1,000 on an ongoing basis for arts and culture, community improvement or enrichment, economic development, education and literacy, environment, and healthy families.

Timing: Entergy asks organizations to apply at least three months before funds are needed and to allow approximately eight to twelve weeks for review. The program does not publish a fixed closing date.

Eligibility: Eligible organizations include qualifying 501(c)(3) public charities and private foundations; nonprofit-status schools, hospitals, governmental units and religious institutions; state or local governments for public purposes; qualifying 501(c)(19) veterans organizations; and qualifying 501(c)(4) volunteer fire departments. Entergy states that school-related uniforms, equipment and trips are not funded.

Application: Applications must be submitted online. Entergy uses current IRS documentation for eligibility verification and places priority on programs in Entergy customer and employee service areas, including Louisiana communities.

Atlas analysis: Atlas Opportunity Score 66/100. This is a practical rolling micro-grant pathway for small Louisiana community, education and healthy-family projects, but the $1,000 ceiling limits the size of any initiative. N9+ Fit Score 0/100 because the published program does not establish a defensible remote physical-examination, telehealth or clinical-device funding pathway at this award level. Dr. Miltie should not be positioned as a direct applicant where the organization does not meet Entergy’s published eligibility requirements.
