Friends of Live Jazz and Beyond,

​

We hope you and your families are well and staying safe during these devastating times. As a result of the local economic impact of COVID-19, the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation, the Penrod Society, Owl Music Group, and The Jazz Kitchen have joined forces to create a musicians relief fund to assist local jazz and related genre musicians who have had a direct loss of income through canceled or rescheduled performances. 

​

Many of Indy’s finest performers rely on their weekly income and, unfortunately, will be the last to receive government assistance. Our initial goal is to raise $50,000, which will be used exclusively for artist relief. This impact will be instrumental (no pun intended) in keeping the Indy jazz & music scene alive as we all strive to make it through these tough times TOGETHER.

​

A special thanks to the Penrod Society & the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation for matching the first $10,000 donations. If you have an interest as a company or organization in supporting this cause, please reach out to Erica Stickler, IJF development director, at erica@indyjazzfest.net

​

If you prefer to send your contribution via mail - please send it to Indianapolis Jazz Foundation, PO Box 20857, Indianapolis, IN 46220.

​

Sincerely,

Friends of the Indianapolis Music Scene
