2020 Spring Fundraiser

FOJAM’s spring fundraiser will begin Wednesday, March 4, and will run through Friday, March 27. 

This is the Jane Addams music program’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and we are hoping to raise $35,000. To achieve that, our goal is to receive an average of $100 in donations from each student.

We need your help

The money we raise during our spring fundraiser is essential to making the Jane Addams music program a place for every student to learn and grow, regardless of financial need or musical ability. Last year, more than half of our budget was spent on instruments and instruction for students. The funds also help cover sheet music costs, scholarships, and performances. A full breakdown of how our budget is allocated can be found here.

Your donation is tax-deductible; FOJAM is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.  All donations are 100% tax-deductible.  Tax ID #47-1029355.

The fundraiser has three interconnected goals:

  1. Raise $35,000
    Students can solicit donations from family and friends, host a fundraising music party or consider other fundraising activities that allow them to play and share music. Donations can be made with cash, checks or via PayPal.
  2. Expand students’ performance opportunities
    We challenge each student to do more with their music during the fundraising period. That can include anything from practicing more at home to playing and singing with a friend in public. Your student may even consider volunteering to perform in a retirement center, bookstore or café.
  3. Outreach
    Our fundraiser is a way to raise awareness about the Jane Addams music program and the vibrant music community we have created in our middle school.
