A 501c3 non-profit organization created in 2019 to provide assistance to the immigrants of Orleans and Jefferson Parish, beginning with the Hispanic/Latino community, for a healthy environment where families can adapt more effectively to their new surroundings. Our help focuses on high school students approaching college and provides them with the necessary tools to achieve their greatest potential. In three years, Ecco NOLA has helped students gain access to over $2,000,000 in college scholarships and provided additional funding for books and other essentials once in college.

Proceeds from Cinco de Mayo Fest benefit Ecco, a Louisiana 501c-3 dedicated to helping Latino students gain access to higher education through mentorship, leadership training, and assistance with attaining college scholarships. In our first three years, ECCO STUDENTS have received more than $2 million dollars in Scholarships and Financial AID and 17 students have received $1,000 in direct scholarships for books and other college expenses.
