| Form 990, Part III, Line 2 | The Jazz Legacies Fellowship is a new program that will support 50 seasoned and accomplished jazz artists aged 62 years and older over a five-year period starting in 2025, with the startup phase beginning in 2024. The fellowship honors each recipient with a lifetime achievement award and an unrestricted grant of $100,000. Recipients will also be provided with resources for tailored professional and personal support, including recording and performance opportunities, production assistance, legal and financial counsel and more. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Pro Bono Services: Referrals for medical, legal, and other assistance. Since 1994, JFA has provided a pro bono network for uninsured musicians in crisis due to health issues. Dizzy Gillespie was a patient at Englewood Hospital in New Jersey many times before his passing in early 1993 from pancreatic cancer. Dizzy expressed two wishes to his family in his last days: to support the greatest passion in his lifejazz and jazz musiciansand to have a memorial in his name at his hospital, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. The Dizzy Gillespie Memorial Fund helps underwrite the costs of hospitalization, diagnostic tests, and a full range of surgical and medical care for jazz musicians who are uninsured and without the ability to pay. Additionally, we have established a network of dentists and oral surgeons who either donate their services completely free or at deeply discounted rates. Pro bono legal services at the JFA include referrals to volunteer lawyers who provide assistance with housing, contract, royalty, estate, and other issues. JFA also works with other relief organizations and musicians' assistance organizations to secure additional and in-kind support for JFA clients. In 2024, JFA made medical, dental, and legal referrals in 23 cases and combined its efforts with other organizations in 635 cases.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: The Gig Fund /Provide Jazz and Blues Music Free to the Public. The Gig Fund produces free, pop-up performances for underserved audiences. The shows take place in public spaces as opposed to traditional and costly venues, and engage new audiences who would not otherwise have the chance to hear these accomplished players. Our dream is for this program to return us to the days when a band would just start playing during lunch hour or after-work, and people would gather to listen, dance, and sing, and there would be this shared experience, reminding us that We Are All In This Together. In 2024 the JFA provide 530 work opportunities for musicians through the Gig Fund Program. |
