"Outsiders may picture New Orleans as a crippled victim with its hand out, but civic and business leaders like Taylor are quietly pushing the city back to its feet.

They're meeting, e-mailing and brainstorming on how to raise money and where to direct it. They're funding old favorites like the arts, while also giving to new organizations aimed at rebuilding the city.

Taylor sponsored a free concert for residents, helped re-landscape public areas and returned to other pet causes. She also draped a banner from her office building during Mardi Gras to remember Katrina victims."
