October Change for Change: Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares
Round up at the register to support local nonprofits!
A grassroots, all-volunteer nonprofit organization, Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares is based on the CSA/farm share model where instead of food, members purchase jazz shares to provide the capital needed to produce concerts with minimal institutional support.
By pooling resources, energy, and know-how, members create an infrastructure that is able to bring world-class improvisers to our region. They produce between 10–20 concerts each year in Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin Counties.
Benefits of the Jazz Share Model
- Artists are guaranteed an audience and a fair wage, allowing for unusually adventurous and diverse programming
- Shareholders are guaranteed access to a series of world-class jazz performances
- Performances benefit the local community as an economic and cultural driver
- Shareholders build community together
