Investing in Promoters 2009-10

During 2009-10 Jazz Yorkshire will be investing £27,000 in the region's voluntary promoter network. Jazz Yorkshire invests almost 50% of the organisation's annual funding in this network as we believe it offers the greatest opportunity for musicians and audiences to access high quality jazz performance.

What do we mean by 'Voluntary Promoter'?

A voluntary promoter is a club, organisation or individual who is promoting jazz on a not-for-profit activity. Any financial surplus is put back into the club and not taken as profit.

Award Levels

Three levels of award are available. We expect our average investment to be around 20% of a club's estimated turnover for the year.

• Level 1 Up to £500 for start-up activity
• Level 2 Up to £2000
  For the maximum amount of £2,000 we would expect promoters to have an annual turnover in the region of £10,000.
• Level 3 Up to £5000
  For the maximum amount of £5,000 we would expect to see an annual turnover of £25,000 and above.
