With the loss of federal funding, Jazz24 needs to fill a $600,000 hole in our budget. It's bigger than that, though. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting also paid for music licensing on behalf of all public radio stations, meaning we have another hurdle to clear as a result of this decision. Our goal is to find 5,000 new sustainers before the end of the year. Please consider joining Jazz24 as a sustaining member today, and protect the music you love: https://www.jazz24.org/donate
