The National Jazz Festival is run and organized solely by volunteers and supported by individual donations, grants, advertising and exhibitor income. These tax deductible funds help us keep registration fees for schools to a minimum and allow us to continue innovative projects like our 2021 virtual festival, pre-adjudication seminars like our new for 2025 NJF Clinics, Recording Sessions, Jazz Concert with dinner and to remain operational for our next planned in-person event and beyond.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and donations are tax deductible and will receive a receipt for tax purposes.

• Continue our mission to provide a festival with an educational philosophy that is free for all to attend
• Create a virtual festival for 2021
