Duke Fund to Give $13-Million for Jazz

The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, in New York, has announced a new $13-million, five-year grants program to strengthen the position of jazz on the music scene.

The grants will help artists finance the creation and performance of their work, and use television, radio, and the Internet to build new audiences for the art form.

The $1.4-billion foundation was established in 1996 by the estate of Doris Duke, the tobacco heiress.
