Music Aid Northwest is a nonprofit organization based in Bellevue, Washington, dedicated to supporting music education in the state’s public schools. It operates through volunteer-led fundraising and community engagement that mobilizes Washington’s music community to emphasize the importance of music in K-12 education. The organization serves public schools across Washington, seeking to ensure access to music education for students throughout the state.

Its signature event, Play It Forward, brings together musicians, community leaders, and local fans for a concert-and-dinner fundraiser that features performances by local talent and recognizes contributors to the music community with the Washington Music Icon Award. The Music Matters specialty license plate program, created in 2010 and issued starting in 2012, supports music education by directing proceeds through state channels. In April 2026, MANW participated in the Play It Forward gala and presented the 8th Annual Washington Music Icon Award.
