Music Aid Northwest's mission is to provide funds for people in need by bringing business and community organizations together with the talent and resources of the Northwest music industry. Through our charitable efforts, we have sought to enhance and promote music awareness and performance throughout the region.

We are very excited to be driving this great project to support music in our schools. To make this happen, we need to raise $35,000 in start up costs and acquire 3500 signatures from registered Washington State drivers who would like to show their interest in purchasing a Music Plate when they become available.
