NOMAF Mission

The mission of the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation is to keep music alive by sustaining New Orleans musicians and tradition bearers in body, mind and spirit. We do this through providing access to health and social services through the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, regardless of musicians’ ability to pay, and by fostering cultural opportunities that advocate for and support this effort.
NOMAF VISION STATEMENT

May all of us who serve our organization have eyes to see those musicians, tradition bearers and cultural workers who are rendered invisible by the American health care system and social services agencies.

The compassion to open our arms and hearts to reach out to include them.

The wisdom to create and to partner with other service providers to provide meaningful programs and services to insure the survival and well-being of those we serve.

May we serve as community advocates for those whose voices are unheard.
