Jazz Night School and LEMS Bookstore

Seattle-based nonprofit Jazz Night School (JNS) uplifts their community by creating an exceptional, supportive environment where people of all musical abilities can come together to learn, perform, and enjoy jazz. A $2.8 million acquisition loan from NFF – with additional financing from Rainier Valley Community Development Fund, Conlin Columbia, and 5001 Rainier investors – will secure permanent sites for Jazz Night Schools and LEMS Bookstore, along with over 100 units of affordable housing. This investment will provide the spaces needed for both organizations to deliver vital community programs for many more generations.
