About Jazz4Justice
For over 20 years, Jazz4Justice concerts have benefited local communities while providing high quality musical entertainment at concert halls, parks, and independent venues across the Commonwealth of Virginia and District of Columbia. To date, over 60 Jazz4Justice concerts and festivals have raised over $600,000 for much needed pro bono legal services, Jazz programs, and music scholarships. Jazz4Justice is a 501(c)3 public charity and has received awards from the American Bar Association and the Virginia State Bar. Jazz4Justice is financially assisted by a generous grant from the Virginia Law Foundation. The Virginia Law Foundation promotes through philanthropy the rule of law, access to justice and law-related education. Jazz4Justice is funded in part by ArtsFairfax.
