Much More than a Mardi Gras Krewe!

Thank you for joining the Krewe of Dolly for an amazing membership year! Before registering, please take a moment read the updated Member Handbook, Brave Space Policy, and Liability Waiver.

Membership registration opens to the public for one day only at 10:00 AM CT on September 5, 2026 — 9 to 5 Day! Please note that after available membership spots fill on September 5, our system will not allow us to process registrations for new or returning members.

Member dues support the Imagination Library in New Orleans, allowing every child under age 5 to be eligible to receive a book every month shipped directly to their home at no cost to their family. To honor Dolly’s lifelong work inspiring a love of reading, we offer a 50% discount for currently active teachers, full-time students, education-adjacent workers, and individuals serving our community through often under-supported professions.

We strongly encourage educators or students who have the financial flexibility to pay the full amount of dues in support of our literacy goals.

We are thrilled to announce that for 2026, your contribution is fully tax-deductible minus the $150 fair market value of annual membership! For example, members paying the non-educator rate of $300 can deduct $150. Please consult your tax advisor with questions about the tax deductible portion of your donation.

Note that our registration platform allows for flexible payment, accurate reporting, and ease of use. While there is a 8% processing fee that goes to Givebutter, this ensures that 100% of your dues support the mission. And good news, no sales tax!

Please note that your registration receipt will go to the email you enter during payment. If you use apple pay or google pay, it will autofill the address attached to these payment accounts. The email comes from no-reply@givebutter.com, so check your promotions and spam to find your receipt. All official communication from the krewe will be sent to the email address you enter and confirm in the registration questions.
