In the heart of a close-knit community in Brevard County, Florida, an extraordinary effort to support one of our own sparked a movement. The journey began in late 2018 when a beloved local and friend faced unforeseen hardships. Inspired by the unity and generosity of our community, what started as a single act of kindness transformed into a beacon of hope for many. The NugeFund Inc. emerged from these humble beginnings, embodying the spirit of mutual aid and compassion that defines us.

Our Mission

Today, The NugeFund Inc. stands as a testament to what we can achieve when we come together for the greater good. As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, our mission is to provide financial assistance to musicians and service industry personnel within Brevard County, facing crises. Anchored by our annual NugeFest event, a celebration of music, community, and resilience, we’ve raised and distributed substantial funds directly to those in need. Each NugeFest, with its live music, raffles, auctions, and sponsorship opportunities, not only raises funds but also unites our community under the banner of support and solidarity.

A Legacy of Giving

From NugeFest I through V, we’ve collectively raised $65,000, directing $57,000 of those funds to support the heart and soul of our community – its musicians and service workers. This achievement reflects the unwavering dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our sponsors. It’s a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we join forces for a common cause.
