MetroMorphosis is on a mission to ignite transformation from within Baton Rouge’s urban communities. We believe that real change happens when people are empowered to shape their own futures, equipped with tools to redefine systems, and supported by a community that values their success. Your investment helps us build this foundation—driving racial, social, and economic equity through collective action and community-led initiatives.

Our vision is a Baton Rouge where citizens from all walks of life work together to create and sustain systems that uplift everyone. By moving beyond deficit-based narratives, we highlight the strengths and prosperity that already exist within urban neighborhoods. With every leader empowered, every small business strengthened, and every community initiative launched, we bring this vision closer to reality.

Take the story of Tre Street Market, an inspiring example of what’s possible through our Baton Rouge Procurement Opportunity Partnership (BRPOP). This initiative connects local small businesses with large procurers to overcome barriers and create opportunities. At our recent BRPOP Vendor Connect event, over 60 businesses met with regional procurers, resulting in two new contracts that will help these small businesses grow and meet community needs.

This is the kind of impact your support makes possible. Every investment you make empowers small businesses, strengthens leadership, and transforms neighborhoods from within. Together, we’re building a stronger Baton Rouge.
