Support for Organizations Serving Orland

The Barceloux-Tibessart Foundation was created by Leo and Fern Barceloux to support religious, charitable, scientific, literary, and educational organizations that benefit people in and around the Orland community.

Our Foundation is committed to responding to the needs of eligible nonprofit organizations while following the principles established by Leo and Fern Barceloux. Grants are made only to qualified charitable organizations as described in Section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not awarded to individuals.

Each year, the Barceloux-Tibessart Advisory Committee reviews applications and determines how available funds will be distributed.
