Our Investors enable the Economic Development Foundation to have a multi-million dollar impact on our community each year. With only half of STEDF's budget coming from a percentage of the Parish's hotel/motel tax, we rely strongly on businesses, local governments, and individual investors to equip us with the tools, resources, and funds to make an economic impact in this Parish. We encourage you to invest in the St. Tammany Economic Development Foundation. Together, we can be the catalyst for positive change in St. Tammany Parish.

Investor Council
The St. Tammany Economic Development Foundation's Investor Council is comprised of one representative from each entity making an investment in the Foundation. These representatives are eligible to serve for twelve (12) months subsequent to their latest investment.

The Investor Council meets on a quarterly basis and the Executive Director of STEDF briefs Investors on significant activities, challenges and opportunities of the Foundation. The STEDF Executive Director also seeks input and advice from investors on important issues, policies, etc., and reports this information back to the STEDF Board of Directors.
