Boston Jazz Foundation
About
The Boston Jazz Foundation is an artist-run nonprofit that presents free and affordable jazz concerts, festivals and education programs across Greater Boston. Its programming aims to uplift local musicians while building community among residents, visitors and audiences of all ages. Alongside concerts, the foundation creates paid performance opportunities for artists and runs educational initiatives meant to nurture the next generation of jazz musicians.
Serving thousands of people each year, the foundation celebrates the city’s musical heritage with an emphasis on inclusive, community-driven events.
