About CDL:

Who We Are

Many have asked how they can help to support the rebuilding of New Orleans’ schools. To answer this call, CDL has established a fund to support the area’s principals, teachers and parents. The purpose is to increase student achievement by providing the continuing education and professional development of educators. Give now to this fund (PDF 27KB).

CDL is well positioned and ready to deliver these needed programs and services. Schools, principals, teachers and parents are asking for our help. All we need is your help. As you consider your charitable plans, I hope you will place CDL as one of your top priorities.

Your gift is greatly needed. Whether you give $50 or $50,000, the CDL Board of Trustees will spend every penny where it counts most. Find out how to give.

Best wishes to you and your family,

Alice Thomas
President and CEO
