about the new orleans musicians assistance foundation
dedicated on may 2, 1998, nomaf became the first such health initiative in the united states, addressing the health care needs of musicians and their families. 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.
