Katrina National Memorial Foundation
ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE:
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to build a national museum in New Orleans, Louisiana to provide a place to honor those
who perished in Hurricane Katrina, remember and learn from the catastrophe, and celebrate the
strength of the survivors and those who came to help rebuild. In creating this international destination
we will establish a system of apprenticeship and mentoring for the youth of New Orleans in the building
and landscape trades, while using cutting-edge "green" technologies. Our vision is to construct the first
LEED Certified Platinum museum of its kind in America. This mission was adopted on 15, June 2007, by
the Board of Directors of the, KATRIN NATIONAL MEMORIAL PARK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION.
PROJECT
The project is the second phase of a Master Plan that will eventually construct one of the first LEED
Certified Platinum museums in America. The need to historically archive the collection data is a strategic
step in our long term plan to build and operate the Katrina National Memorial Museum in the City of
New Orleans. This phase of the Master Plan establishes the required level of documentation that will
preserve the collection of memorabilia and the approximately, 10,000 names from the, KATRIA'S LIST in
the Katrina National Memorial Foundation Museum.
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY
Our outreach efforts will extend across the local region to all economic and social levels; however, the
design features along with the museum culture attributes will establish our facility as an international
destination with a draw of individuals from all over the world.
BACKGROUND
The organization was started, (9), years ago immediately after Hurricane Katrina, with the idea of
creating a museum and hurricane memorial park that will commemorate the lost lives due to the
aftermath devastation.
Our Board of Directors is comprised of volunteer professionals that have a genuine interest in assuring
that the goals of the organization are realized and have expertise in non-profit community activities. The
organization has experienced an enormous amount of interest and support from community individuals.
