WHY GIVE
FQFI programming drives economic, social, and cultural benefits for the entire community. Your donations support the artists and culture-bearers who practice the unique traditions that shape New Orleans cultural identity.
FQFI is committed to uplifting and sustaining the people who create our cultural economy by providing high-quality economic and cultural opportunities.
We are simultaneously committed to keeping our events accessible by not charging an admission fee. Research has shown that access to arts & culture programming leads to better health, safety, and educational outcomes, improving lives and shaping communities.
Revenue generated via beverage sales and sponsorships are vital to our model, but they cannot keep pace with rising costs. We rely on the generous support of individuals who believe in the value of our unique culture and the power of the community it creates. Help honor the rich cultural history of our region and ensure ongoing innovation with a donation to FQFI today!
