CAMPAIGN PROGRESS: $XX,XXX raised of $50,000
Local live music needs your help!
For more than 35 years, Jazz Winnipeg has brought people together through live music. Now, we need your help to keep it going.
This summer, the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival once again filled stages and public spaces with music, created paid opportunities for artists and welcomed thousands of people to experience live performances — much of it completely free.
But challenging weather and rising costs also left Jazz Winnipeg with an unexpected financial gap. That’s why we’re asking our community to help us raise $50,000 by November 30.
Your gift today will help us recover from a difficult festival year while protecting the programs, opportunities and experiences that keep music thriving in Winnipeg.

What your gift makes possible
Keep live music accessible
Music should be something everyone can experience.
Your support helps Jazz Winnipeg continue creating free and accessible opportunities for people to experience outstanding live music — including the free programming that brings thousands of people together.
Support Manitoba artists
A vibrant music community starts with the artists.
Your gift helps create paid performance opportunities for Manitoba musicians, connects artists with new audiences and supports pathways for local musicians to grow their careers at home and beyond Manitoba.
Invest in the next generation
The future begins with opportunities to experience it, learn it and make it.
Through youth initiatives, mentorship, emerging-artist opportunities and our support of The Bridge: Music for Life, Jazz Winnipeg helps young people discover music, develop their talents and imagine what might be possible.
Strengthen our future
Keeping the music playing takes more than one week in June.
Jazz Winnipeg brings artists and audiences together throughout the year, builds partnerships across our community and works to ensure that live music remains an important part of Winnipeg’s cultural life for generations to come.
Music brings our community together
“The performance, coupled with the afternoon masterclass, created an inspiring day that we know our children will remember for their entire lives. Through this festival, Jazz Winnipeg brings world-class artists and performances to Manitoba and enriches the lives of the people who are fortunate enough to experience them.”
— The Rintoul Family, attendees
Winnipeg International Jazz Festival
“Without Jazz Winnipeg’s platform to uplift my music, I would not have near the access to audiences as I do, and I would not have the stage experience required to grow my art. Jazz Winnipeg programming has had a distinct impact on my career. I can’t quantify the effects — the reach in my life has been too great.”
— Erin Propp, Manitoba artist
Festival + Jazz at the Fort Garry Hotel
“What you get is students from all over the world and we're all making music together. And once we have that initial success, they're speaking the same language. Music is an international language. We have students here that don't speak much English at all. But here we are and we're playing music.”
— Neil Watson, music instructor
The Bridge: Music For Life Program
