$4,450 is actually not
a lot of money when you will be collecting $15,200 from the sale of 50 discount
tickets at $25 per person plus 400 full priced tickets at $35 per person. In addition our “buyout” program allows recipient
organizations to raise ADDITIONAL funds through special VIP ticket pricing as
well as local business and corporate sponsorships which we work together with
you to HELP you obtain!

for FOUR more ways that we raise funds for you!
For the organization that is expecting anywhere from 225 people or more
at their event the Buyout fee is DEFINITELY the way to go in order to
raise
the
most funds
possible for you because in addition to the funds raised through
sponsorships, donations etc., you can also charge as much as you want
for tickets with some organizations charging as high as $300 !
Please let us know if we can be of any additional help to clarify our
Jazz for Peace
“buyout”
program.
Our
100% to you! Buyout Program raises maximum funds for our Empowerment Grant
Recipients!
Our
studies from our past events have shown that our 100% to you! Buyout Program
has been a key ingredient for enabling maximum funds to be raised for our Grant
Recipients.
******
Our highest grossing events in our 800 plus event history to date have come from
experienced, savvy and creative organizations who simply pre-purchased 220
tickets at the onset of receiving their Empowerment Grant notification Award.
This is because they were IMMEDIATELY able to leave our set policy grid and
use their own creative pricing for tickets, sponsorships, and every other aspect
of this event enabling them to follow their OWN guidelines outside of the more
strict rules and oversee of our Board while at the same time STILL having our
Jazz for Peace team at their beck and call from beginning to end to assist in
making this event as successful as possible!
Your
organization has probably not heard much about this option by our Jazz for Peace
grant administrators, event coordinators or volunteers because while the reward
has been phenomenal there is also a financial risk involved and we feel this
option should only be accessed by organizations with prior fundraising
experience.******
(Please
note that in special instances additional airfare fees may
apply)
HOWEVER
- due to the success of this Buyout program we are now able to
graduate
organizations that were previously unable to qualify for this 100% to you!
category by helping them sell 220 advance tickets via a combination of
individuals and sponsors by the deadline set by our board - thereby
enabling them to receive 100% of every ticket and sponsorship sold from ticket
#221 on. For Information on our prestigious Jazz For Peace Big Band Buyout Click here

A
long term partnership that raises funds, publicity and awareness for your
organization at no cost to you!
The main purpose of the Jazz for Peace Benefit Concert
Series is to Change
the World Through Jazz by creating the opportunity between our
organizations for a long term partnership for bigger and better things to
come.
For
example: On Saturday, March 13, 2004
Jazz for Peace played a Benefit Concert for Harlem Dowling-West Side
Center as part of our Benefit Concert Series at Jazz on the Park.
At that concert was a friend of a volunteer who made a suggestion to a volunteer
who was also at the concert who then told a board member who was also at the
concert who then told the Events Director (who - you get it - was also at the
concert!). The idea turned out to be a special VIP concert featuring the Jazz
for Peace Quintet which took place on Thursday, April 8th at Magic Johnson
Theater in Harlem where over
a quarter of a million dollars was
raised.
This is just one of many examples. We are
now moving forward with this wonderful organization to our third stage event
while moving to the second stage and fourth stage with other organizations.
