For 20 years, the Jazz Foundation of America has been dedicated to saving the jazz and blues musicians who make our world richer through their music. Every day, we work to fill needs in times of crisis: our Housing Fund enables us to pay rents to hold off eviction, and our Emergency Fund helps to ensure that the electricity stays on and food remains on the table. We save lives through our partnership with Englewood Hospital and Medical Center and offer legal assistance through pro bono attorneys. Further, we help to reestablish a musicians’ sense of dignity and purpose through employment with our Agnes Varis Jazz in the Schools program, which brings music to schools, nursing homes and hospitals throughout the country. As we grow, we continue to assist, as always, by “saving jazz and blues, one musician at a time.”

Leap is the home of doing good, having fun and getting rewarded.
With the help of our 350+ charity partners, we search night and day to find and recommend fun, hassle-free charity events and volunteering activities in your area, for you to attend, support and enjoy.
So how does it work? Like this: Just pick an event you’d like to attend, invite friends to join you (via Facebook and Twitter), keep an eye on what causes your friends are supporting, and get rewarded multitudinously for doing good.
Do good; feel amazing – it’s the Leap effect.
See the Jazz Foundation of America in Action!
