Jeffrey Scott & Corine Koornhof
For Jeffrey Scott & Corine Koornhof, the journey with Son of a Saint began with a simple encounter—a meaningful connection at a booth Son of a Saint was running at Jazz Fest– that planted a seed. After making New Orleans home 6 years ago, that seed grew into a deep commitment to invest in the city’s future. “We wanted to intentionally support the community and build a better city,” they shared, a sentiment that perfectly mirrors Son of a Saint’s tagline, “If you love New Orleans, invest in its future”.

Chevron
Son of a Saint began its partnership with Chevron in 2019, when the organization was awarded its first grant. During this grant period, Son of a Saint, like many nonprofits globally, was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Chevron was one of the first funding partners to step up and allow Son of a Saint to redistribute grant funding so that the money could be used in direct support of the organization’s mentees and families.
In February 2024, members of the Chevron Black Employee Network (BEN) came to Son of a Saint’s headquarters to present for Black History Month, specifically highlighting Black leaders in STEM. BEN employees also engaged with mentees through group activities focused on robotics and structural engineering.
