BOARD OF DIRECTORS
For 25 years, the Jazz Foundation of America has been keeping jazz & blues alive by
helping the musicians who played with everyone from Duke Ellington and Billie
Holiday to Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. We now assist in more than 5,000
cases a year nationwide.
OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE:
• Preventing homelessness and eviction by paying rents and mortgages
• Creating dignified work through our Agnes Varis Jazz & Blues in the Schools
program, which reaches thousands of inner city public school children across
America every year
• Providing free medical care and operations through our angels at Englewood
Hospital & Medical Center
• Being there with our Musicians' Emergency Fund when illness, hunger, accident
or another crisis strikes
Our efforts since Hurricane Katrina have helped over 1,000 of New Orleans' most
beloved musicians find work and new homes for their families. Thanks to the Agnes
Varis Trust, hundreds of these artists continue to perform every month.
