The Richard Guidry Cajun and Creole Language Fund was established in memory of the late Richard Guidry, an author, educator and state supervisor of foreign languages. The mission is to support activities and projects that encourage, increase and improve the use of the multiple varieties of French languages and francophone cultures in Louisiana, especially the spoken use in public, the arts and education.
