Hosted by the Louisiana Crawfish Fest Foundation with a mission to help those in need, the Louisiana Crawfish Fest Foundation's goal is to support community programs in St. Bernard Parish and the surrounding areas. Their purpose is to not only promote St. Bernard Parish and the culture and tourism through the Louisiana Crawfish Festival, but also to be charitable, patriotic, educational, and other public-spirited purposes that have an impact on the community.

Since Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Crawfish Festival donated over two million dollars back to the community. To commemorate the 45th Louisiana Crawfish Festival, the committee decided to establish the Louisiana Crawfish Fest Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3.
