Ways to Give

Become a Member or a Donor

One of the best ways to support Coastal Jazz is to become a member or a donor. By doing so you support local musicians and the next generation of great artists in our community. We thank you for investing in the power of jazz.

What does it mean to be a member of the Society? 

We have recently revised our membership policies to place a greater focus on inclusivity and accessibility. Membership to the Society means you are granted the right to participate in the governance of the Society, vote at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and have a say in how the Society is run.

What does it mean to be a donor of the Society? 

Donors do not have the right to vote at the AGM. However, donors do have access to special benefits, such as advance access to ticket sales and special donor events. 

Is it possible to be both a member and a donor? 

Yes, it is possible to be both a member and a donor. All donors can opt in as part of their donation to become a member and participate in the governance of the Society and vote at the AGM.

How much is the membership fee?

Membership to the society is granted upon a modest contribution of $5 to the Society. This fee is not eligible for a tax receipt, as it counts as a membership fee. 

Loyalty Giving

Monthly giving or multi-year gifts helps provide Coastal Jazz with reliable funding to build a foundation for jazz music throughout the Lower Mainland of BC and beyond. Supporting Coastal Jazz on a monthly basis or a multi-year commitment provides funds the society can count on to expand their reach and develop more opportunities for the BC Community to experience the unrepeatable genius that is jazz.

Monthly giving is a convenient and easy way to share your generosity throughout the year. Smaller monthly donations can be more manageable for you. A gift of $10 a month adds up to $120 a year that will go towards providing amazing performances and education programs.

For monthly or annual donations please select an amount for each month on the donation page and an automatic deduction can be made from your credit card.


Tribute and Memorial Gifts

A donation to Coastal Jazz made in honour or to celebrate a special occasion is a thoughtful way of recognizing your friend’s or loved one’s passion for jazz and blues music. A personalized card will be sent to notify them of your gift and a tax receipt will be sent to you.
