THE CAUSE
For 26 years, the Jazz Foundation of America has been keeping jazz & blues alive by helping the musicians who played with everyone from Duke Ellington & Billie Holiday to Jimi Hendrix & The Rolling Stones. We now assist in more than 5,000 cases a year nationwide.
OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE
• Preventing homelessness and eviction by paying rents and mortgages
• Creating dignified work through our Agnes Varis Jazz & Blues in the Schools program, which employs over 250 musicians every month and reaches 70,000 audience members a year—from public schoolchildren to seniors in nursing homes
• Providing free medical care and operations through our angels at Englewood Hospital & Medical Center, who have donated $7 million in services since 1994
• Being there with our Musicians' Emergency Fund when illness, hunger, accident or another crisis strikes
Our efforts over 10 years since Hurricane Katrina have helped more than 1,000 of New Orleans' most beloved musicians find work and new homes for their families. Thanks to the Agnes Varis Trust, hundreds of these artists continue to perform every month.
Whatever the need is, we don't just fix the problem... we heal it with dignified solutions and love.
