Support J&D

Donations powered by:

When you make a tax deductible donation to The Jazz & Democracy Project® (J&D) you are:

Giving students a unique educational experience

Appreciation for American Classical Music: Jazz
A profound connection to and understanding of democratic principles, including civic participation
An opportunity to build elastic thinking often missing from school curricula

Giving local artists new opportunities to inspire

Jazz musicians need two things: gigs and an audience. J&D provides jazz musicians well paid gigs to play for students on Musician Day. This experience transforms the classroom into an intimate jazz venue, creating audience members of each and every J&D student.
