Yes that is actually true!
What makes this Grant so unique and
special is that you actually
keep more than 100% of the profits. This is because we do not take out our expenses before giving you funds
starting with the very first ticket sold.
For example: Ticket sale number one has this
breakdown:
Jazz for Peace expenses: We don’t know the exact figure but for sure
somewhere in the numerous Thousands of dollars.
Your Recipient Organizations expenses: Zero
Jazz for Peace Percentage of the profit after first
ticket sold: Someplace VERY VERY
FAR in the minus column.
Your Organizations Percentage: at $7 for the first VIP Guest of
Honor Discount Ticket - WELL OVER 100% of the profits.
We have been told by numerous sources
that this is the only Grant as well as World Class Cultural Event of its kind
that enables the recipient with no expenses to keep MORE THAN 100% of the
profits.
Below is additional clarification on
this: (to find out how Jazz for
Peace gets funding please visit FAQ # 23).
Jazz for Peace does not subtract our expenses to
put on this event before we start giving you money. For example: on the first
ticket sold your organization will make 7$. However Jazz for Peace still pays
however much it cost to put on the event ( in our very first Jazz for Peace
Concert at Troy Music Hall for example the musicians fees alone were over
$8,000 ) MINUS $18. Under these guidelines Jazz for Peace itself does not
make money. We use our tax deductible donations to offset our expenses to put
on a world class cultural event for the purpose of raising Funds as well as
Publicity and Awareness for your organization at no cost to you.
In this way it is our incentive to make
this event as successful as possible for you so that we will lose as little
money as possible which will enable us to spread our donations to more events
and thereby benefit more organizations. While you may (or may NOT) make more
money asking people for donations you will certainly not generate publicity and
awareness, obtain sponsors, prestigious supporters, new fundraising techniques
and more (see below) or create the foundation for preparation to
meet opportunity through this world class cultural event between our
organizations for a long term partnership creating the possibility for bigger
and better things to come. Some of these bigger and better events have raised
as much as a quarter of a million dollars for organizations that started their
partnership with Jazz for Peace the same way we are
doing now.
