Membership

Our members and supporters, listed below, help the Bureau of Governmental Research to deliver independent, nonpartisan research to identify ways in which local governments in the New Orleans area can deliver more effective outcomes for the citizens they serve. Through our events and emails, BGR members can also stay informed about, and engage more effectively in, local public policy discussions.

To preserve our independence, support for our work does not come from the government, but instead from members of our community: individuals, foundations and corporations. BGR is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your membership contribution is tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
