Notes to the National Portfolio Organisations (NPO) for jazz 2014/2018

The funding of the National Portfolio Organisations for 2015 to 2018 is compared to 2014/2015, the last year of the previous round. Please note only those organisations are included whose activity is a give or a take a percent, 100% jazz activity. They are the core jazz National Portfolio Organisations. Whilst the Turner Sims and other organisations such as the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and Bristol Music Trust do an invaluable job, jazz is merely a portion of their regular programming and not their core activity. As table 1 shows the increase in Grant in Aid for core jazz organisations is 13.8%. However as a percentage of total funding of NPOs opera is at 64% and jazz at 1.8%

Please note that of the funding of core jazz NPOs only 30.2% of the funds went to organisations outside of London. Organisations based in London received 69.8% of the total funding of £1.678 million.

In 2018/19, Opera will receive a total of £57.1 million of which 32.5% will be spent outside of London. Classical music will receive £19 million of which 55% is allocated to the English regions and jazz will receive a total of £1.6 million of which 30% is spent outside of London. For the avoidance of doubt 3.4 million people attend classical music concerts, 2.1 million people attend jazz concerts and 1.7 million people attend opera.
