The Down Syndrome Association of Greater New Orleans (DSAGNO) is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. We provide vital support, advocacy, education, and community engagement to promote inclusion and independence. Our mission is to empower those with Down syndrome to reach their full potential and to foster an environment of acceptance and understanding within the community. Through our programs, resources, and events, we strive to build a connected and supportive network for all.

The Down Syndrome Association of Greater New Orleans annually hosts Buddy Walk to raise awareness in the month of October and to raise funds for a Spring Picnic and a Christmas party for individuals with Down syndrome and developmental disabilities. DSAGNO also offers financial assistance to individuals with Down syndrome and their families to attend national conferences.
