The American Jazz Museum appreciates all donations large and small that enable us to create new and diverse educational and public programming, and to bring world renowned musicians to 18th & Vine. The Museum’s largest current need is for general operating support. Additional needs include:
Support for performance expenses;
Endowment support;
Funds to update technology in permanent Museum exhibits;
Marketing funds for increased awareness of the Museum's programs
