TIPITINAS FOUNDATION INC
Invite reviews
An astounding thing happened when our sheriff had an idea to turn a kids love of music into a place of support and educational pursuit. Armed with this vision, partners were sought to bring things into fruition. One of the organizations that responded was Tipitina's. Through the relationship, kids in our band have played on stage and before professional musicians and the public taking away a real sense of self worth and pride. These experiences have been priceless, but the care and concern for the band's ability to grow and florish surpasses any expectation or reality I had about the Tipitina's Foundation. Their generosity and genuine desire to help musicians makes them a community anchor that we are proud to know.

These guys are great- after the tsunami they organized benefits for Japaense school children who lost their instruments-they did this to honor the Japanese who gave them instruments after Katrina- they even fronted the money before the benefits so that the kids could play concerts in shelters without delay! Really great organization.

They need public visibility
One of the best Foundations in the city of New Orleans, if not the country. Tips has done more for the betterment of the music community than any celebrity or large corporation could dream of doing. The best part is that they give back to music professional and kids, providing uniforms and instruments alike.
If you are looking to donate, I strongly suggest you look at The Tipitina's Foundation!

I would not change a thing!
The Foundation definitely supports childhood music education, the professional development of adult musicians, and the increased profile and viability of Louisiana music as a cultural, educational, and economic resource.
