The Assoc. supports the MHJB, an 18-piece big band+vocalist, and its affiliated jazz combos. It produces a multi-day, admission-free jazz festival, assists school music programs, presents workshops for student musicians, plays benefits for other charitable organizations, and holds four Jazz & Poetry events annually.
What it reported doing in 2024
Mile High Jazz Band and its combos held about 20 performances, including Jazz & Poetry events, attended by from 50 to more than 300 each, and performed with the Carson High School Jazz Band, Carson Middle School Jazz Band, and Reno Youth Jazz Orchestra to help them raise funds for school music programs.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
