THANK YOU!
A big thank you to everyone who attended the Pathways To Jazz Inaugural Benefit Concert and thank you to all who donated to help support our efforts to bring music education into low-resourced schools in Colorado and to fund jazz artists to create the albums that will further their careers and support their musical endeavors.

You can still donate now to support this effort. This button will take you to our fiscal sponsor, the Boulder County Arts Alliance’s webpage. Your donation is tax deductible.

2026 RECORDING GRANT
The 2026 Pathways To Jazz grant process will open and close on May 1, 2026. U.S. & Italian applicants can submit a letter of intent between 5:00am-5:00pm MDT (UTC-6).

To apply for the 2026 Pathways To Jazz recording grant, artists need to first submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) for consideration. The LOI is an online form that is completed on the Boulder County Arts Alliance (BCAA). Letters of Intent will only be accepted on May 1, 2026 between 5:00am-5:00pm MDT. No letters will be accepted outside of the BCAA application form. Late submissions will not be accepted.

You can find all the details and eligibility requirements on our GRANTS page as well as on the Grants Program tab of the BCAA web page.

If you are selected to apply, you will then complete the grant application through the Boulder County Arts Alliance website. Those awarded a grant will have until December 31, 2027 to complete their project.

To past recipients of the grant, please note: Artists who have never been funded directly or indirectly by Pathways To Jazz will be considered first. Previous grant recipients cannot apply within five consecutive years of their funding year.

Exceptional jazz musicians across the U.S.and Italy are invited to apply.

Albums that have been released by past winners can be found on the ARTISTS page on this site.
