LEGACY ENDOWMENT FUND

Since its inception in 1996, the SacJEF has relied in part on endowment funds established by individuals, often in memory of jazz education supporters who have passed. With a minimum contribution of $10,000, these Legacy Funds continue to support traditional jazz education for young musicians by providing resources, scholarships, and mentorship opportunities, thereby ensuring that the rich tradition of early jazz continues to thrive. You can help foster creativity and musical excellence in young musicians by establishing a Legacy Endowment Fund. For more information contact pjones@sacjef.org.
