PROGRAM SERVICES
Underwriting projects and program services include:
Funding for these programs comes primarily from members like you. Now in our 24th season, member donations provide the lion’s share of the annual budget, while corporate, foundation, and arts grants provide the balance of our funding needs. With that in mind, I encourage you to support the arts in general and The Jazz Project specifically. Thank you for supporting live music and living musicians. Jud Sherwood, Jazz Project Director
