The Feather Fund

The Feather Fund plays a critical role in supporting the artisans and performers of the Indigenous Masking Societies by providing essential resources, such as plume feathers, which are integral to their intricate and colorful suits.

The Feather Fund

We invite you to join us in safeguarding and celebrating the New Orleans Indigenous Masking Societies by contributing to the Better Family Life Feather Fund. Your donations are vital in ensuring these cultural artisans continue to thrive and enrich our community with their history, art, and spirit. Together, we can ensure that this quintessential New Orleans tradition not only survives but flourishes for generations to come.

Thanks to the generous support from the New Orleans Cultural Tourism Fund, the Greater New Orleans Foundation, Burial Brew in Asheville, NC, New Orleans and Company, Lake Eden Arts Festival and individual donors we have been able to provide feathers free of charge to Masking Indians, prioritizing elders, children and those experiencing significant financial hardships.
