Jazz Empowers Unveils a New Brand Identity to Reflect a Growing National Impact

After more than a decade of bringing high-quality jazz education to underserved schools, Jazz Empowers is proud to introduce a new brand identity that reflects who we are today—and where we're headed tomorrow.

Since our founding in 2014, Jazz Empowers has grown from supporting a handful of schools into a national organization serving more than 50,000 students in over 830 underserved schools across 45 states. Along the way, our programs, partnerships, and impact have evolved tremendously. We felt it was time for our visual identity to evolve as well.

Our refreshed logo, colors, website, and overall look are designed to better communicate the warmth, creativity, excellence, and transformational impact that define every Jazz Empowers program.

While our appearance may look a little different, one thing remains exactly the same: our unwavering commitment to launching and sustaining the highest-quality jazz programs in underserved schools. Every decision we make continues to be centered on creating life-changing opportunities for students through jazz education.

"We're incredibly excited to share this new chapter for Jazz Empowers," said Andrew Johnston, Founder & Executive Director. "Our new brand identity better reflects the energy, creativity, and transformation happening inside our programs every single day. More importantly, it helps tell the stories of our students, instructors, and school communities in a way that invites more people to become part of the Jazz Empowers family. We want supporters to feel like they're stepping directly into our classrooms and performances—to see firsthand the impact that jazz education is making in students' lives."

The launch also includes a completely redesigned website, making it easier than ever to learn about our programs, discover student stories, and explore opportunities to get involved.

We invite everyone to visit www.jazzempowers.org to experience our new look, learn more about our mission, and explore the exciting work happening across the country.

To celebrate the launch, we've also released a new collection of Jazz Empowers merchandise featuring our updated logo and colors. Visit www.jazzempowers.org/store to browse t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, mugs, and other apparel and help spread the mission wherever you go.

While our brand has evolved, our purpose has not. Every student deserves access to an outstanding music education, and we remain more committed than ever to ensuring that young people in underserved schools have the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence, and lifelong benefits that jazz provides.

We can't wait to continue this journey with our students, educators, partners, donors, and supporters as we write the next chapter of Jazz Empowers together.
