Short Summary

Earth Jam is a nonprofit organization based in SLC, Utah. Our main goal is to provide a free community gathering each year in honor of Earth Day.This is our 22nd year. Earth Jam has no main sponsors and runs independantly. It is still a grass roots organization not atached to corporations or other companies. We encourage healthy living and conscience decisions in everyday life to help and preserve our environment.

The music of Earth Jam is the heart of the organization. We have 2 stages The Earth Stage, The Fire Stage, that we fill with local talent, performing arts, and speakers 

The Children's Garden Center helps teach our children lasting memories on Global consciousness and building a safer future for generations to come. We do this through the art of creation by recycling, gardening, solar and wind power and the basic respect of loving our Earth and being aware of our environment.

Contributors will help to esnsure that this event is paid for in full. Many times after our Earth Day event there is a defecit that is left in bills owed from the costs of the production. This campaign is to help with all of those costs and keep myself personally out of debt. My name is Dan Marsh I am the President of Earth Jam Productions. If costs are not covered each year I personally pay for it which creates a financial hardship on myself. Our goal is only for $5,000 which will cover 1/3 of our costs. All members of Earth Jam are volunteer at the moment. We give our time, energy, love, and passion to host this event. Another goal of ours is to reach the public with our message of recycling, wilderness preservation, conservation, healthy diets and other issues to help save our planet and ourselves.

 

The Earth Jam 2013 event Scheduled April 27th & 28th has happened.

WE CONTINUE FUNDRAISING TO COVER COSTS AND PREPARE FOR OUR NEXT EVENT.

What We Need & What You Get

The budget and costs to put on this event exceeds over $15,000. Money is raised through some booth fees that we charge to set up and vend or host environmental information. With our current economy our booth reservations have been down from previous years. This income only covers a portion of our costs involved.

Some of the specific costs include:

Security $4,000

Sound system rental $2,000

E.M.T.'s $1,000

Insurance $1,000

Toilets $1,000

Fire permits $475

Health Dept. permit $625

This is only a portion of our costs. Other expenses include staging, canopies, advertising, supplies, and more.

For those who donate to us you will receive a pin or t-shirt to remember our organization.

If our goal is not reached we will use what we receive to pay for the costs listed above. Any extra received will help to improve the set up and visuals of our presentation.

The Impact

If our goal is not reached we will use what we receive to pay for the costs listed above. Any extra received will help to improve the set up and visuals of our presentation.

 Our project is very valuable to the community and the world. Each little bit of contribution really helps for us not only to cover costs but to improve our event and outreach to the community about very important issues affecting our daily lives.

Like mentioned above this project has been going on for twenty plus years. I have personally paid a lot of these costs. With the stricter requirements and pressures put on myself by the government organizations it is becoming harder to keep this alive and be able to take care of myself. Regardless of new fees each year I continue to push forward.

Donate $5 Keep Earth Jam alive!
