Tipitina’s Foundation

New Orleans Artist Relief Effort

Until the recent devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the Tipitina's Foundation has devoted its efforts to uplifting the New Orleans music community through its Music Co-op Office, Instruments A-Comin' benefit concerts and the Tipitina's Internship Program. That mission has changed, as we now fight to save and rebuild that very community. We are currently finding musicians housing, gigs and instruments while we raise funds through donations and nationwide benefit concerts to meet the challenges facing us in the coming weeks and months. Tipitina's Uptown, 501 Napoleon Avenue, will open up as soon as we can return as a Musical Community Center with a Music Co-Op, as we all come together to preserve the spirit of New Orleans.

Artist / Donor Connections

The Tipitina's Foundation is coordinating relief to artists who are displaced and / or in need of help. Artists and donors may post listings so that the Foundation can match specific donations to artists in need. Artists and donors may also browse the lists themselves to try to make their own matches.
