PARTNERS

The Steve Reid Foundation collaborates with and supports other like-minded organisations whose activities help us to fulfil our own charitable purpose. These include:

Jazz Foundation of America

The Jazz Foundation of America is the first and only national organisation in the USA dedicated to saving the homes and lives of elderly jazz and blues musicians in crisis. They support over 5,000 people a year, including hundreds of New Orleans musicians and their families still coping with the effects of Hurricane Katrina, as well as the musicians badly affected by the more recent Hurricane Sandy in New York. 

They assist musicians by providing emergency funds and instruments, helping with rent and mortgage payments, and free or low-cost medical care.
