The Livermore Jazz Society is supported entirely through donations — all event attendees (whether live or Livestream) are encouraged to donate as their conscience permits. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit — your donations are 100% tax-deductible. Our EIN is: 87-0842715. For house concerts, we provide a ‘dignified’ minimum guarantee for each musician per performance — regardless of the ’take’ — so your donations are critical to ensure that we remain solvent and able to continue this beneficial policy.
Every donation counts — whether large or small. Your generous contributions help make the LJS house concerts possible — Thank You!

Please consider sending a donation to:

Donations will be acknowledged by email or letter.
For legal reasons, in order for contributions to be tax-deductible, there can be no expectation of any specific goods or services in return for a donation. However, we have default policies regarding donations. For donations received on or near house concert days, the default policy is that 100% of the donations go directly to the musicians performing in that concert.
