The non-profit Threadhead Cultural Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, was launched in 2009 to promote the cultural heritage of New Orleans through grants and assistance to musicians, artists, and others involved in endeavors relating to music and other artistic expressions whose work is in the tradition of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of New Orleans and the surrounding area.

The Foundation raises funds to provide direct assistance to such artists so that they can produce and distribute their work. It also promotes the cultural heritage of New Orleans through its assistance in funding free music clinics for local children.

Raffle tickets range from $1 to $10, and the raffle will come to a close at midnight on April 18.
