The Music Education Assistance Project, Inc. (MEAP) is a non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation that was founded in January of 1997. It was created to help deal with diminishing musical arts funding in the middle schools and high schools of Northern Oregon and Southern Washington. Currently, its main focus is to provide scholarships for private instruction to musically gifted, but financially needy, students. Additionally, MEAP hosts educational concerts and classroom workshops. Donations are gladly accepted. Contact Local 99 for more information
