Mission and programs · 2024

• Monterey Jazz Festival - The nonprofit Monterey Jazz Festival is the longest continuously-running jazz festival in the world, and has presented nearly every major jazz artist every year since its inception in 1958. Held annually on the 20-acre Monterey County Fairgrounds, the Festival is considered an international icon and model for all subsequent multi-stage music festivals. Five-hundred top jazz artists perform throughout the weekend on eight stages over three nights and two days each third full weekend in September. Every year, through its marketing and promotional efforts, the Festival gathers over 60 million impressions in local, national, and international print and digital media outlets, on the ground, and through its web site.

  Expenses $3,911,147 · Revenue $2,979,123

• The Festival provides 3,000+ young people with direct access to the nationally recognized jazz musicians and music instructors. These programs fill an educational gap in our schools underfunded music programs and provide mentorship and performance opportunities to foster creativity for the next generation's jazz musicians. The education programs include: the MJF Regional All Star Band and Vocal Ensemble, MJF All Star Middle School Combo, Summer Jazz Camp, Jazz Uplifts!, master classes and workshops, and an instrument bank & sheet music library. National programs include the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra and the Next Generation Women in Jazz Combo as well as our HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Partnership Program, which brings students from HBCUs throughout the U.S. to Monterey to provide career and performance opportunities.

  Expenses $547,850 · Revenue $56,854

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
