Our World is Listening campaign goals are ambitiious, especially during this time of great economic challenges.Yet the investment is critical not only for SFJAZZ but also the future of our nation's culture. Jazz is at a crossroads. It needs an institution on the West Coast to encompass a century of jazz heritage — while providing a safe haven for musical innovation going forward.

We believe SFJAZZ is the ideal institution to create this inclusive, community-oriented center because:

• Nearly 30 years as one of the world's leading jazz presenters
• The continued vision of our founder and Executive Artistic Director
• Upwards of 100,000 attendees at our events each year
• Ongoing financial support from thousands of SFJAZZ members and donors
• A strong committment to jazz education, for people of all ages
• An involved Board of Directors and talented staff
• Enthusiastic endorsement from city organizations
• Hundreds of long-standing volunteers
