About Us
Music & Arts Education Project, Inc. (MAEP) is a new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the Maplewood / South Orange community dedicated to advocating for the inclusion and broadening of the arts and music for our students and community. Founded in October 2023, we believe it is critical to provide support for our school district, work to influence policies and budgets, and unite with parents and other residents to advocate more arts opportunities for our students and community.
What MAEP IS:
A non-profit organization, meaning contributions are tax deductible
A place where the strength of our numbers can be leveraged to create influence
Organized by local residents with experience in our district
Open to supporting all students and teachers in their quest to improve arts education
MAEP is the underlying 501(c)(3) organization for Maplewoodstock and other events to be announced in the future.
What MAEP is NOT:
Not a long-term replacement for an appropriate school budget for music and the arts
Not supporting a single type of art or music education
