Missy Lane's Charitable Foundation

Missy Lane's Charitable Foundation is on a mission to expand the audience for jazz and improvised music.

Our focus is on the following areas:

  1. Educating, preserving, presenting, and promoting all forms of jazz as an American art form.

  2. Presenting and promoting visual arts that reflect jazz musicians and the scene/culture.

  3. Providing a common meeting place where jazz musicians can play their form of music to interested audiences and the general public.

  4. Providing interested musicians with the opportunity to become proficient in the playing of jazz.

  5. Encouraging youthful musicians to play jazz.

The work of the Charitable Foundation is inspired and guided by the artists who lend their talents as part of Missy Lane’s Assembly Room, a social hub for music lovers located in the heart of downtown Durham, North Carolina. 

Unmanageable serves as fiscal sponsor for Missy Lane’s Charitable Foundation. All donations made are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
