Welcome! We're a New Orleans foundation dedicated to sharing the joy of music with the survivors of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and we're glad you stopped by. Enjoy our slideshow, learn more  About Us , read the latest News and Events, support our projects, go to our MySpace page, watch our Videos, check out our Printer Cartridge Recycling Program, get a Donation Button or just Contact Us - we'd be glad to hear from you!

If you do your shopping online, remember that hundreds of merchants like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Staples, Gap, Old Navy, Sears, Macy's, eToys, Vons and more will donate part of your purchase price to the SSF -- and it won't cost you anything! Just go to MAATIAM, then click through to your favorite websites using the store logos on the Maatiam site and do your shopping exactly as usual.

We'd like to express our gratitude to some of our latest sponsors: HILTON NEW ORLEANS RIVERSIDE, BUILDING SPECIALTIES COMPANY OF LA, NOLA BOX SUPPLY CO, PRATT LANDRY ASSOCIATES, SOUTHERN SCRAP EXPORT, DEPENDABLE BAGGING CO, the CUDD FOUNDATION, WHOLE FOODS MARKET, WALDEMAR S NELSON & CO, the GNO AFTERSCHOOL PARTNERSHIP and COLUMBUS PROPERTIES for their generous support. THANK YOU so much for helping us share the joy of music with the kids of New Orleans!
