The Hana Hou Music Program’s mission is to develop, advocate, and provide music education in Maui, Hawai’i, and to serve as a free musical resource to the community regardless of background, artistic ability, or economic circumstance. The Hana Hou Music Program is currently compiling materials to apply for 501(c)3 non-profit status. Achieving non-profit status will help increase our funding opportunities as well as increase our organization’s legitimacy. Through the IML’s mentorship and financial support, we will be able to successfully file for 501(c)3 non-profit status.
