| Desc | 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. | Desc |

| Desc | Musicians' Emergency Fund/Housing and Emergency Assistance: Preventing homelessness and evictions for musicians in need and assisting with rent, mortgages, transportation, utilities and other essential living expenses. Most musicians have no savings, they rarely get paid properly, and they live gig to gig. For example, if someone cant work because theyve had an accident and are now behind in their rent, we pay their rent and/or utilities to keep them from eviction. We also make sure there is enough food on the table and] even go to the hospital with them for treatment if they are alone. In other crisis situations, we are needed to repair or replace instruments so that musicians can keep working. Whatever the situation calls for, we address the need through compassion and counseling from our social work team. JFA looks at the whole person and sees the long- and short-term challenges. This can include making home visits to an elderly person who is alone and even connecting them with younger musicians they can mentor who check in and help care for them. We also make calls after business hours to let them know they are not forgotten. Sometimes we uncover the root of someones depression or help reconnect them with estranged family members. Every case is special and needs more than what it first presents. Whatever the situation, we heal it as best we can with love, a helping hand, and some creativity. JFA assisted in 1,180 unique cases through the Musicians' Emergency Fund in 2024. | Desc |

| $314,567 | Disaster Relief: Direct support for the musician community following catastrophic events. From Hurricane Katrina to Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Ida our team is on the ground as soon as possible and to help with relief and recovery. Our social workers and case managers find out first-hand what needs to be replaced and repaired. We go home to home and offer emotional support and provide basic necessities like food, emergency supplies, and clothes for children. We replace instruments and equipment, help with car repairs, and enlist professionals to decontaminate houses to ensure a families safety. Musicians are already vulnerable before disaster strikes. They live paycheck to paycheck and things critical to their livelihood, like instruments and studio equipment, are kept at home. One flood can derail a lifetime of work, leaving great artists with nowhere to turn. This relief effort includes creating community concerts in places where work opportunities are limited for musicians due to disasters. These concerts also provide a healing experience for audiences who have experienced shared shock, loss, and trauma. During the pandemic, JFA's COVID-19 Musicians' Emergency Fund has extended support to thousands of musicians for assistance with basic necessities like rent payments, utility bills, and groceries. JFA provided support in 0 unique cases to musicians and their families in 2024 via our disaster relief efforts. |
| $39,285 | Jazz Healer Award - The award will be award periodically at the discretion of the Board of Directors. It is intended to honor and individual who has displayed uncommon efforts over the course of their career to heal the jazz community through dedicated service to musician. |
| Jazz and Blues in the Schools/Creating Employment: Dignified work that keeps the music alive. Most often, the best way to help blues, jazz, and roots musicians in crisis is to keep them working. Musicians who used to play six nights a week now have few or no options. The Jazz and Blues in the Schools program continues to be a vital source of income and optimism for our legendary elders. JITS serves multiple purposes: 1) providing dignified work for artists to continue doing what they love most; 2) presenting live music to underserved audiences at a variety of community venues and creating access to enrichment and entertainment; and preserving the legacy of jazz and blues through concerts by veteran audiences reaching new listeners. Many of the thousands of young attending their concerts have never heard live music. By sharing this music at schools that otherwise have limited access to arts and enrichment, we can help to build future audiences. In a digital world, this interaction provides the opportunity to learn how music is actually made. Through Jazz and Blues in the Schools, musicians feel alive with purpose, sharing their life stories with hundreds of new fans and passing on valuable lessons about the history and practice of blues, jazz, and roots music. JFA created 1,927 paid work opportunities for musicians in need through the Jazz and Blues in the Schools Program in 2024. | |
| 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. |

| Part I: Additional Information | The Jazz Foundation of America (JFA) is a national nonprofit that provides assistance to musicians and families in times of crisis. Our core programs include housing assistance, pro bono healthcare, disaster relief, meaningful employment, and direct financial support. We typically assist approximately 1,500 individuals annually. JFA maintains a robust schedule for our performance programs which presents free concerts accessible to the public in community venues. Last year, our performance programs (including presentations at schools, nursing homes, hospitals, senior centers, parks, libraries, greenmarkets, and other community spaces) reached more than 60,000 audience members. These programs generate roughly 3,000 paid performance opportunities for underemployed artists annually. We also record and archive more than 100 concerts annually for public streaming via Facebook and YouTube, each including calls to action to donate. We promote these events via monthly mailings to our internal donor list (over 12,000 contacts), social media marketing and public relations outreach for press listings. JFA achieves meaningful public support and emphasizes public-facing fundraising and programming. JFA continues to host annual benefit concerts (either the Spotlight Jazz" event or the Great Night gala) and other fundraisers (e.g. a Los Angeles-based event) which are open to the public and contribute significantly to our annual revenue. Our goal is for invitations to these fundraisers and public performances to travel far and wide, reaching the broadest possible audience to induce donations. JFA has accrued more than 150,000 followers across various channels (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube), consistently featuring content with calls to action to donate. A review of JFAs donor lists shows a variety of funding sources including private foundations, individual donors across a broad range of giving levels, corporate donations, government grants and event participants. Per an analysis of our donor database, we have received contributions from an average of 1,321 unique individual donors per year over the past five fiscal years. (In the fiscal year ending 06/30/2025, the total was 1,461.) These totals included contributions from donors in all 50 states as well as donors from abroad. The median gift size across 9,662 individual contributions during that period was $75. Our board includes representatives of the musician community and other individuals who do not necessarily contribute as donors but have platforms to communicate JFAs mission and programs to the public. This includes high-profile public figures like actor Danny Glover and musician/producer Steve Jordan. It also includes musician Jimmy Owens, a longtime professor at the New School and advocate for musicians rights. Photographer/author Hank ONeal, producer Sandy Jordan, and designer/guitarist Bill Wurtzel constitute an element of the board focused on community outreach through their connections to artists in the field. Likewise, Dr. Frank Forte, Dr. Nimesh Nagarsheth and Mike Pietrowicz are all affiliated with Englewood Health and JFAs programs for providing musicians with access to healthcare. The evaluation of musicians requesting assistance from JFA occurs at the staff level independent of donor and board involvement. Our team of licensed clinical social workers manages intakes and assessments, conducting interviews to determine need and recommend assistance. We have an application process that helps us better understand a client's life circumstances and financial situation. Musicians often find us through referrals from peers and general awareness within the music community. One artist will refer another, or a concerned community member will reach out and encourage JFA to call someone. JFA also appears in Google searches, organic searches and on resource lists shared by other organizations. Last, we have amassed a database of thousands of client musicians over the decades. We check in with people regularly (ongoing outreach), which often reveals new issues with an individual or a peer. The two 2023 donations that contributed to JFA's fall below the 33-1/3 threshold were: 1) a five-year $15 million grant to support a new program aligned with our core mission of musician assistance, and 2) a $20 million contribution to our endowment. Although this revenue was recognized in a single year, it represents support that will be spread across a longer period (and in the case of the endowment, theoretically, in perpetuity). While these 2023 donation represented significant charitable investments in the organizations mission, JFA has maintained active engagement with a wider donor community through ongoing public fundraising, events, online giving, and diversified institutional support. It is our objective to continue increasing public support as we believe there is room to scale based on our clients needs and based on the publics appreciation for our programming. |

| Part X : FIN48 Footnote | Generally accepted accounting principles provide guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements, and require the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken to determine whether the tax positions would more-likely-than-not be sustained by the Foundation upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Management is not aware of any violation of its tax status as an organization exempt from income taxes or of any exposure to unrelated business income taxes. The Foundations tax returns remain subject to examination by the taxing authorities, for three years after they have been filed. |

| 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 2022, JFA made medical, dental, and legal referrals in 12 cases and combined its efforts with other organizations in 235 cases. The Pro Bono services totaled $714,955 for the this fiscal year. |
