Legacy Amendment Fund

The Legacy Amendment is a constitutional amendment adopted by Minnesota voters in November 2008. It raised the state sales tax by 3/8 of 1% for a period of 25 years and dedicated the earned revenue to clean water, parks, outdoor habitat, and arts and cultural heritage. A website was created by the Minnesota Legislature to help citizens monitor how funds from the Legacy Amendment are being used. On the Minnesota’s Legacy: watch the progress website you can see how funds are being invested across the state.

As a Legacy fund beneficiary from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund this biennium, the Twin Cities Jazz Festival (TCJF) has been able to engage with even more audiences, artists and partners to hold up our mission of bringing communities together to enjoy and appreciate the art form of jazz and inspire new generations of youth.

TCJF is grateful for support from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund of the Minnesota Legacy Amendment.
