Mission Statement

The California Jazz Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization formed to provide aid and assistance to California jazz musicians in crisis. We do so through a team of caring, knowledgeable professionals in collaboration with community partners.

Statement of Purpose

The intent of the California Jazz Foundation is to provide services and support to California jazz musicians. The Foundation will:

• establish and maintain a network of medical professionals in every discipline to provide services on a pro bono and/or sliding scale basis

• educate recipients and raise their awareness of the importance of preventive care

• act as a clearinghouse to connect those in need with the appropriate service agencies

• assist in preparing appropriate governmental applications for services

• educate musicians as to their professional rights and benefits from trade unions and guilds

• provide emergency financial assistance when appropriate, and offer other critical services

In furtherance of these goals, the Foundation will accept donations, apply for grants, produce at least one annual fund-raising event and procure and coordinate volunteer services.
