ABOUT THE ALL ABOUT JAZZ FUND DRIVE

AAJ needs your support to raise funds to help us complete several important projects.

Financed on a shoestring, our volunteer staff has worked tirelessly over the last nine years to promote the music we all love. During this time, we've amassed 100,000 pages of web content and have attracted nearly a half million monthly visitors. We've developed several innovative tools along the way and are very excited about the future plans for the site, but we need your financial support if we're to take the next step.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

If you're a long-time reader or frequent the site, please make a contribution. You can start as low as $10 or contribute more and receive a special gift. We've also created a special benefactors page to recognize your contribution.

WHY A FUND DRIVE?

The money we raise will directly fund the development of several groundbreaking projects at AAJ. The centerpiece is a technology we call my.allaboutjazz.com, which will allow us to filter content and offer regional information to individual readers based on personal preferences. Other projects include the Jazz Teacher Finder and our Map-to-Jazz technology. These new systems will benefit our readers, jazz musicians, and anyone who champions our music.
