mjf is more than a festival it is part of cultural heart of Manchester – it entertains and nurtures new talent, it tells stories and brings people together. mjf relies on public subsidy, which cannot be guaranteed; your support ensures we can continue to bring world-class free events to Manchester every single year, including:
mjf exists to keep jazz alive by supporting the next generation of artists to create and experiment. Your donation would ensure we can continue to platform artists via our three talent development opportunities:
We continue to enjoy a fruitful relationship with many of our talent development alumni with many of our artists going on to play our festival stages. mjf was also the first festival to launch an open artists’ submission system and this still informs our programme today.

Benefits include:
Your donation, however big or small, will make a real difference to our small yet mighty festival.
If you are a UK taxpayer remember to tick the Gift Aid box so we can reclaim tax from the Government and add an extra 25% onto your donation.
Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows us to reclaim the basic rate tax you pay as a UK taxpayer. It means that we can claim 25p of tax for every £1 you donate at no extra cost to you. All you need to do is make a Gift Aid declaration.
This is my own money, I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less income tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Gift Aid is claimed by manchester jazz festival from the tax you pay for the current tax year. The money that we claim back from HMRC as part of the Gift Aid scheme will be treated as unrestricted funds and used to support our general work, even if your original donation was made towards a specific project.
If you wish to use an alternative payment method to donate to mjf, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via festival@manchesterjazz.com
