Visionary Circle

Launched in 2020, the Visionary Circle is CPEX’s multi-year giving program. Sustained giving allows CPEX to reduce administrative time and focus our expertise in planning, policy, and community outreach to create a generational impact on Louisiana. Members of the Visionary Circle pledge to donate at least $1,000 per year over 5 or more years for a total of at least $5,000.  

Corporate Partners

Smart planning is good for business -- it creates places where people want to live, work and play by preserving cultural identity, promoting walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, protecting green spaces and natural environments, and providing equitable access to quality housing, education, and jobs. Corporate Partners give annually and have their logo featured on the CPEX website.
