Part of the Tipitina Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting Louisiana and New Orlean's music community, Tiptina's Music Office Co-ops provide fully-equipped work space for musicians, filmmakers, and other digital media professionals who otherwise would not be able to afford it. For just $10 a month (or a $100 a year), membership benefits also include on-site technical support, volunteer production assistance, access to a network of music business professionals, and a library of specialized information resources. Established in New Orleans in 2003 with an initial membership of 60, the Music Office Co-ops now include 7 locations and 2,400 members statewide. The Co-ops are credited with boosting member earnings by an average of more than 50 percent.
