Community Need
While music does not directly solve a problem, it does provide for a need
Music creates jobs, increases flow of finances and allows artists to express themselves and their opinions http://futureofmusic.org/article/article/future-digital-infrastructure-creative-economy
Connection
What links these needs to this specific organization is the programs
The education program provides instruction for young, inexperienced talent
The research program creates jobs through specially designated positions as well as performing and other musical careers
The policy/advocacy program then gains attention and coverage for each group
