Thank you for investing in the positive power of jazz!

Your support ensures that Coastal Jazz continues to provide numerous and varied opportunities for the BC community to share and nurture their passion for music. Generous supporters like you, help to build a foundation for the future of jazz throughout the Lower Mainland of BC and beyond.

All donors $50 and above receive donor benefits including, but not limited to, access to ticket presales for our shows and to the Coastal Jazz box office for information and purchases.

Monthly donations can be more manageable for you, and provide critical cashflow during our quiet post-festival months. In fact, a recurring gift of $17 a month adds up to $204 a year. This donor level includes presale access to festival tickets plus invitations for you and a guest to our Opening Night Party, scheduled for Friday, June 23rd.

Learn more about our giving circles below and their corresponding benefits.

Please note: Alongside your donation to Coastal Jazz you have the option of also choosing to become a member of the Society. Becoming a member of the Society allows you 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. You can also choose to donate without becoming a member, and you will still be eligible for all the benefits described below.
