JAMNOLA unveils summer nonprofit partnerships in New Orleans

By AI, Created 8:36 PM UTC, May 28, 2026, /AGP/ – JAMNOLA is expanding its community giving with three summer partnerships supporting youth, arts education and LGBTQ+ advocacy in New Orleans. The collaborations include Girls Play Trumpets Too, Art Camp 504 and PFLAG New Orleans, building on more than $183,000 in local contributions since 2020.

Why it matters: - JAMNOLA is tying its cultural brand to direct community support in New Orleans. - The summer partnerships target three groups that often rely on outside funding: young artists, arts education programs and LGBTQ+ advocacy. - The initiative extends JAMNOLA’s charitable giving beyond one-off donations and into programming, merchandise and ticket sales.

What happened: - JAMNOLA announced three summer nonprofit partnerships with Girls Play Trumpets Too, Art Camp 504 and PFLAG New Orleans. - The announcement came May 29, 2026, in New Orleans. - JAMNOLA said it has contributed more than $183,000 to local nonprofit and community organizations since its 2020 debut on Royal Street.

The details: - JAMNOLA will sponsor the Girls Play Trumpets Too Spring Concert at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music on May 30 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. - JAMNOLA will also work with Girls Play Trumpets Too on co-branded charitable merchandise to raise additional funds and awareness. - JAMNOLA and Art Camp 504 will launch JAMCamp, a summer arts and culture program running select Tuesdays and Wednesdays from June 16 through July 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. - JAMCamp is designed for children ages 5–10. - The camp will include workshops on Black Mardi Gras Indian-inspired headdress-making, miniature-making and parasol decorating. - Featured instructors include Big Queen Rita Dollis of the Wild Magnolias, mixed-media artist Phoebe Grace and multimedia artist Heidi Jo Taylor. - JAMCamp sessions are limited to 15 campers per day. - Each session costs $100. - JAMNOLA will donate $1 from every ticket sold during June to PFLAG New Orleans. - The donation will support LGBTQ+ youth scholarships, advocacy and community resources. - JAMNOLA’s Pride Month initiative with Big Freedia has raised more than $15,000 for PFLAG New Orleans over the past four years.

Between the lines: - The partnerships show JAMNOLA using its attraction traffic to support local nonprofits in ways that connect directly to its exhibits and brand. - The mix of music, arts and LGBTQ+ support mirrors the cultural themes JAMNOLA already promotes. - The June ticket donation and the camp program suggest a recurring model rather than a one-time charity campaign.

What’s next: - The Girls Play Trumpets Too concert sponsorship starts first, on May 30. - JAMCamp begins June 16 and continues through July 29. - June ticket sales will determine the size of JAMNOLA’s donation to PFLAG New Orleans. - JAMNOLA said it sees the collaborations as part of a long-term commitment to New Orleans youth and cultural preservation.

The bottom line: - JAMNOLA is turning summer programming into a community investment strategy, with funding and visibility flowing to three local nonprofits.
