Krewe of Neptune · 501(c)(3) Charitable Arm

Helping neighbors weather every storm.

The charitable arm of the Mississippi Gulf Coast's largest Mardi Gras krewe — disaster relief, family support, and community give-back, three hundred sixty-five days a year.

How We Help

Three ways the Krewe shows up for the Coast.

Adopt-A-Family Christmas

Each December, the Foundation adopts six underserved families, providing gifts that would otherwise be out of reach — a hand up, not a hand out.

Disaster Relief Efforts

Immediate assistance following hurricanes and other disasters that hit the Gulf Coast — supplies, funds, and manpower deployed to neighbors when they need it most.

Local Charity Support

Financial donations and volunteer hours to local charities across the region, promoting charitable work well beyond our own programs.
