Support us!
Why support us?
Manchester Jazz Festival is a charitable organisation and we rely on the generosity of our funders, sponsors and donors to help us bring more music to more people, year on year. With your help, we can commission more ambitious projects, support more young players in their own region, reach out to more potential audience members and create more opportunities for them to take an active part in the festival.
How to support us?
There are several ways to support us:
- Make a donation: during the 2009 festival, we've raised £1,000 from individual cash donations. Online donations will soon be available.
- Volunteer with us: between 40 and 60 volunteers of all ages help us to run the festival every year. We'll start recruiting a few months before the festival, and you can register your interest with us form now on.
- Sponsor the festival: mutually beneficial commercial partnerships with local and national businesses are a vital part of our development. To enquire, please contact us.
- Become a Friend of the Festival: more details coming very soon.
