Why Give

While we are able to provide a place of rest and transformation for our residents, Project Lazarus touches the lives of many across the Greater New Orleans region, far beyond our threshold.

Our nonprofit is a conduit of progress, supporting:

• the local economy through the provision of workforce development
  • Helping residents become fiscally stable and generate income for themselves and their communities
  • Providing university learner program participants from Loyola, Tulane, and The University of New Orleans a safe and effective space to practice skill development under the leadership of experienced staff
  • Generating employment opportunities for care professionals
• the improvement of our regional quality of life
  • Programming addresses individual challenges of homelessness,  hunger, substance addiction, financial instability, and the reduction of crime
• Equity in health and human services within the state and city
  • Reducing HIV/AIDS related complications within Black and Latino populations, which are disproportionately impacted by higher rates of HIV
  • Ensuring access to resources such as medical treatment, medication, case management, life skills development, and more

With the dramatic reduction in federal, state, and city grant and foundational funding, Project Lazarus depends on our corporate and individual partners to actively support their communities.

How Your Gift Makes a Difference

Your generosity directly supports the people who call Project Lazarus home. In-kind and financial gifts help provide critical residential needs, programming expansion, facility maintenance, and operational assistance. Every gift — large or small — helps create a place that restores dignity, healing, and hope.

Monthly Giving

The continuous hope and care that Project Lazarus offers to all individuals living with HIV is sustained by consistent, compassionate partnerships.

Raising Lazarus, our monthly giving program, creates a meaningful connection between you and the residents who call our house their home — ensuring stability and continuity of care throughout the year.

Through monthly giving, supporters help make possible:

• Predictable, reliable funding that allows immediate response to resident needs
• Uninterrupted access to housing, nutritious meals, and essential daily supports
• Counseling, holistic wellness, and mental health services
• Responsible stewardship that ensures financial intention and care
• Flexible, mission-driven planning that adapts as the needs of our residents evolve

Monthly giving also offers benefits for our partners:

• A manageable, budget-friendly way to give over time
• Immediate, tangible impact from your donation
• Early access to monthly updates and community outcome information
• Invitations to resident events and an annual luncheon with Project Lazarus leadership

“Monthly ongoing support means you are important to me. I know the work you do, and I know you are excellent stewards of the gifts you receive. I would hate to overlook a deserving organization like yours simply because I forgot to make an annual donation.”

Lisa Karlin, Longtime Supporter

By joining Raising Lazarus, you ensure that care is not seasonal, support is not uncertain, and our residents are never forgotten.
