In these programs, we partner directly with musicians over <br />55 who are torchbearers of important cultural traditions that have <br />been overlooked by mainstream America for years. <br />The Musical Development Program guides artists with professional <br />career development to get them gigs and tours, record musicians <br />and provide them instruments and equipment to get them working. <br />We believe that if a musician does not have adequate access to <br />food, medication and safe housing, they are not in a position to share <br />their talents. The Musician Sustenance Program works to improve <br />the lives of artists so that they're positioned to share their music with <br />the world. We provide monthly stipends for those musicians who <br />cannot afford food, shelter and medical care and connect them with <br />resources like social security. When an unanticipated crisis hits — <br />from house fires to flooding —we step in to assist with emergency aid <br />so that a musicians' life is not completely derailed. <br />We believe in a people centered approach to cultural preservation. <br />The Cultural Access Program builds knowledge and appreciation of <br />the important traditions, bringing live performances to underserved <br />populations, providing free access to music and educational <br />programming, sending traveling exhibitions all around the country, <br />and maintaining a multi -media archive for generations to come. <br />During FY18 -19, will Yes <br />your organization <br />receive operational <br />support funding from <br />the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the <br />North Carolina <br />Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />Organization's EIN 133782018 <br />Organization https: / /musicmaker.org/ <br />Website <br />Authorizing Official's Timothy Duffy <br />Name <br />Authorizing Official's Executive Director <br />Title <br />
