INTEGRATE FOLKLORE, MUSIC, & TRADITIONAL CULTURE

Folk music - sung during the days before there was a music
industry when the role of music was about your life -
about the life and times that most of us don't experience
anymore and when the music was sung because it helped
people through it and sustained them.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, October 26, 2005- The Higher Ground Hurricane Relief
Fund, administered through the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, announces grants
for musicians and music industry-related enterprises from the Greater New
Orleans area. Individuals and organizations affected by Hurricane Katrina
can download applications and review eligibility requirements at
www.FoundationsForRecovery.org.


Grants for individuals will be made up to $15,000, with priority given to
professional jazz musicians. Grants up to $100,000 will be issued to
nonprofit organizations, with priority given to music-related institutions.
Applications are subject to deadlines.


Derek E. Gordon, President and CEO of Jazz at Lincoln Center commented, "The
focus of the Fund will be to help those individuals and families evacuated
from the Greater New Orleans area as they address immediate concerns related
to housing, food, education, health care and basic survival necessities.
The Fund will also provide resources to assist individuals over time to
rebuild their homes and livelihoods."


The Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Benefit Concert, held on September 17th,
was hosted by the Emmy Award-winning PBS series, Live From Lincoln Center.
The event included performances by an array of musicians and entertainers,
and raised funds for disaster relief by encouraging viewers to make
donations to the Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Fund. To date, over $1.5
million have been raised. Revenue from DVD and CD sales of the performance
will also benefit the fund. Find out more about this event at
www.jazzatlincolncenter.org.

organization composed of over 300 charitable funds with over $375 million in
assets established by individuals, families, corporations and organizations.
