From Grassroots Movement to
Tech-Enabled Platform

For two years, First Tuesday has been a labor of love—a movement built by passionate business leaders and community members who believe that when businesses serve, Baton Rouge wins.

We started with nothing but a vision and a willingness to do the work. Every event, every connection, and every hour served was coordinated manually—through emails, calls, and sheer persistence.

Now, it's time to scale.

We're launching a tech-enabled platform that will transform First Tuesday from a labor-intensive movement into a structured, data-driven, scalable initiative—making business-led volunteerism easier, smarter, and more impactful.

Your gift not only fuels this platform—it strengthens the entire First Tuesday movement, empowering us to invest where it's needed most to serve our mission.

Your support of these small business and community catalysts fuels a future Baton Rouge that brings out the best in all of us.

We're looking for generous, like-minded supporters to help seed Grow With the Alliance for long-term, self-sustaining success. Your unrestricted gift ensures we can adapt, grow, and serve in the most meaningful ways—both now and in the future.
