Voluntary donations help us sustain this series and are appreciated!
We’re very grateful the many individuals in the community who donate to our nonprofit Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project (the “BBCLPâ€) and to the fiscally sponsored Jazz in the Neighborhood to help each of our organizations to build up a general fund from which we augment audience revenues to pay guarantees and cover expenses. Your donations allow Bird & Beckett to consistently offer a guaranteed “fair wage†of $150 per performer to the professional musicians who perform for you here, a standard we have adhered to without subsidy since the pandemic began. Pushing for a decent minimum guarantee for gigging musicians is an important part of our mission, and is an effort we pursue in concert with the Independent Musicians Alliance and Jazz in the Neighborhood.
Your donations are crucial. Small monthly recurring donations are particularly helpful.
Donate to the BBCLP at this link to further our work!

We also thank and gratefully acknowledge
the City & County of San Francisco’s Grants for the Arts
and the California Arts Council
for operating support of the
Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project

The IMA can be a conduit for you, if you join in to make it work.
