The broad nature of Positive Legacy's mission gives it the ability to be agile and grant funds to places where it can do the maximum amount of good. The goal is to make the second million dollars in grants in half the amount of time as it took to grant the first million. I'm happy to report that Positive Legacy is on pace to meet that goal!

We had another amazing Day of Service at the Robin's Nest Children's Home outside of Montego Bay during Jamcruise 20. The Home is on a hilltop and the road up was in rough shape. Giving a significant grant for improvements was rewarding; but, I REALLY enjoyed getting to swing a machete and do something tangible. If you get a chance to participate in a Positive Legacy Day of Service, go for it, it's an amazing experience. The police escort through town was a thrill ride too!
An incredible collection of humans making a difference for communities around the world. Positive Legacy gives festival goers a chance to pay it forward in places that need help as well as promoting a healthier environment. I try to donate my art every year for The Jam Cruise auction. I cant say enough about the wonderful crew I've met working these events.
I am so honored to say I’ve been a part of this incredible organization for the past nine years. The passion and dedication of the Positive Legacy team and community are unmatched. It’s amazing to see how music can bring people together not just for celebration, but for real, tangible change. Whether it’s supporting local communities, funding important initiatives, or coordinating service projects that make a difference, Positive Legacy continues to prove that kindness, action, and music can transform the world.
If you're looking for an organization that leads with heart and creates meaningful change, I can't recommend Positive Legacy enough!

To me, there is no better nonprofit than Positive Legacy! Using a musical platform to benefit people and the planet via service projects is just the coolest thing ever. I look forward to getting out there each season to help the communities we visit to hear their stories and learn from them all while making a positive impact on the environment! GO PL!!!
Positive Legacy is an efficient and effective organization that successfully brings cultures together to address environmental and humanitarian issues through local impact. Their commitment to creating positive change and their ability to mobilize resources make them a valuable partner for any community. I wholeheartedly endorse their work.
Been contributing and attending Positive Legacy events for about 15 years. Year in and year out they are a joy to interact with. Well organized and efficient. Great cause and superb job putting ideas into action. I look forward to Many more years of attending their associated action events and contributing to their cause.
I helped out on a day of service approximately 8 years ago. The year after thought it would be a good idea to have my kids help out. Now my daughter works with the company and I have faith that our future is in good hands!

I can’t say enough about this nonprofit that I found through the music scene. They reach out and help across the world and have a party with a purpose.
Positive Legacy is such an amazing organization. On jam cruise 20 I had the opportunity to join for the day of service on Jamaica for Robins Nest and it was such an enjoyable experience.
Love PL and all they do for the scene and community!

Being able to give back to the communities we are visiting and being involved and interacting with the locals made the whole trip 1,000 times better! Having local musicians play with the musicians on our cruise is so special. Music and community service will save the world. Thank you Positive Legacy for enriching my vacations, my life and the world in general!!

I discovered Leaving a Positive Legacy through music events and it most definitely enhances the musical experience exponentially! One of my favorite experiences was planting 10,000 seedlings of fruit bearing trees in Haiti. Not only are they a food source but the reforestation project helps provide soil/shore/ground stability and helps prevent erosion during storms. The people of this group followed the project to help increase the success rate. 12years later, they reported over 75% success rate of those trees! Bring education, exposure, knowledge and service to the masses is an important part of improving this world. So the efforts and effects of Leaving a Positive Legacy reach far beyond the physical projects the participate in. Thank you for all that you do for this world, you truly are, Leaving A Positive Legacy!❤️

Leaving A Positive Legacy is a great way to give back. The team are all super great people (Sadie Im pointing at you!!) They do good work for many different cultures! We have donated and will again in the future!!
Great cause, great people, great work! I’ve seen some of the work they’ve done. Many items collected to then auction off for charity.
I signed up to join Leaving a Positive Legacy in Belize to clean up and improve a local park and the experience was exactly what I was hoping for. The Karma endorphins you get from doing a little work to improve a comminuty resource like a park are real!
Positive Legacy does some seriously amazing work worldwide. I love seeing the communities they bring together! Everything is so well organized for their Days of Service during Cloud 9 events too. Top notch!
Positive Legacy truly makes a difference in people's lives through the power of music. I've had the privilege to see this first hand. I've been humbled by the gratitude of those who benefit from the grants, the children's joy at receiving everyday school supplies, and the hard work of those who participate in the days of service. This organization fills my heart and I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful community of selfless people.
I love JamCruise, which they are an integral part of. My first time on the boat, without much research about cruise culture and environmental impact, I started to worry about working conditions, impact on countries we visited, and the environmental footprint of cruise ships. Positive Legacy put my mind at ease with their community involvement, carbon offsets, and educational seminars. Being an American and having the privilege of traveling the world, I feel the need to give back, and this grassroots nonprofit makes sure to make a positive and direct impact on the places I go.
The “day of service” on Jamcruise is just a singular experience. I’m definitely signing up for this every time! A great group of folks doing great work!
Getting involved with Positive Legacy for my first day of service through Jam Cruise was one of the most amazingly inspiring experiences I've ever had. It is truly incredible, the positive impact that these people are leaving on this world. I look forward to getting involved in any way that I can in the future!
An incredible and unique nonprofit for lovers of music, people and our planet! One million stars ⭐️

Positive Legacy does an amazing job of tying music to service and has made an indelible mark on the communities it has visited! It was an honor to work with them on projects in Mexico and to see the positive impact they've had on the music festival community. Suffice it to say, some of my best music memories have included Positive Legacy in one way or another!
This charity goes above and beyond. I had such a unique and wonderful experience volunteering with them and can't wait to do it again
Leaving a Positive Legacy is an organization that I give to multiple times a year. I have donated supplies, money and my time. I am
proud to support Leaving a Positive Legacy because of the good they do.
Positive Legacy is a great nonprofit. They help people in need with the idea of one world united through music. Every year I donate something handmade to their JamCruise auction, because I believe in them.
Amazing organization doing really amazing work. Impressed to learn of them through their meaningful influences on jam cruise. Participating in their day of work made my experience so beautiful. Truly magical to be immersed in the festivities and have a grounding, conscious experience. The volunteers and leaders of this organization bring so much to the table, they are the real deal. Leaving a positive legacy, and we all should too. Donate and get involved!
I absolutely love LAPL! They have been part of a festival that is very close to my heart, Jam Cruise, for many years. In that time, they have helped Jam Cruisers give back to the communities that we visit in a multitude of ways. We have cleaned up beaches, donated school supplies, helped level up community centers, and brought positivity and supplies. That's just to name a few ways that LAPL has helped us to do just that....leave a positive legacy instead of just being consumers of the places we visit. This non profit is truly top-notch.
What can I say. Sounds and service and symbiosis! The community of music enthusiasts giving back is so refreshing. The amount of fan art donated to make money for the communities we visit is so inspiring as well. I believe my own art has been changed and inspired for the best by cloud 9 and positive legacy. I will give to them for my entire life
Have seen PL at multiple music festivals Always a great experience from live to silent auctions. Monies used to help communities big + for me
Positive Legacy is a unique and amazing organization that creates connections between music fans and the communities they visit. By helping channel the power of music into meaningful community projects, Positive Legacy has helped to support schools, the environment, and the health and well-being of local residents.

Positive Legacy does wonderful work supporting environmental and humanitarian projects in the US, Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. They provide a wide range of opportunities to be engaged at the destination and US based music events they support. Their impact has been broad and beneficial to a variety of causes over their years of operation. Plus, they are a whole lot of fun as well!
Positive Legacy provides funding to communities so they can improve their well-being and/or environment. They also show others how they can help these areas, too through hands-on service or financial support. They provide fun, well-organized fundraising events, and are selective in their project work.

I first learned of this organization when I went on Cloud 9's One Big Holiday Music Festival in the Dominican Republic. I see a LOT of music, and was surprised to find Positive Legacy, an organization that works within these events to help those natives in the resort areas, as well as other musical, environmental and community causes. I was so impressed by their organization that I volunteered immediately, and have significantly donated to Positive Legacy. During Covid they have even provided additional funding for workers in the music industry. They do so much with so little.
I've been a part of this organization for over 10 years and enjoy being a part of it's growth. We continue to serve grants to many quality organizations doing GOOD. Also, one of the brightest things we do is our Days of Service which not only help with community projects, but give our supporters a chance to get their hands dirty and make a difference!
Great hands-on approach of people helping people in the communities where we are vacationing, along with sharing music in those communities. Think "free concert on the beach for the whole town while folks plant trees or paint the schoolhouse."
I love donating items for the Silent Auction on Jam Cruise every year, and the items that are in the auction are of great value. In addition, I have attended the positive legacy events during the cruise to help the communities we visit. Soles for Souls, School Supplies, and Tree planting after Hurricane Damage are just some of these.
Positive Legacy has a devoted and highly capable team that combine great marketing, knowledge and networking to effectively execute their mission. I have had multiple encounters with their team members for over a decade. They’re tried and true to what they do.
Positive Legacy is an amazing non-profit really making a difference in this world. The PL team is a fantastic group of people leveraging their various backgrounds to help support a ton of great causes in almost a dozen countries. Coming from a music festival fan who bought some cool stuff at the PL auctions to raise $, to a volunteer, to now having the honor to be a Board Member, I’m thrilled to be part of Positive Legacy. If you’re looking for a killer charity to support, volunteer for, a 1% For the Planet partner, and an up and coming game changer in non-profit space, look no further…
Leaving a Positive Legacy is a genuine, earth loving, music loving, non-profit that is generous, thoughtful, and aware of the social issues in the world that may need their assistance in impacting change.
Leaving a Positive Legacy was generous enough to give my business a grant this year! My business is a zero waste boutique and soap refill shop located in Northern Colorado. We give the individual an opportunity to reduce how much plastic he/she may purchase for their daily living. The grant they gave us the opportunity to add a Terracycle system for hard to recycables, the ability to bring in 4 - 30 gal drums of various washing soaps, and more variety of product for our consumers.
Thank you for doing what you do every year!

Positive Legacy provides opportunities to music fans that you just can't get anywhere else. It is such an amazing thing to be able to mix philanthropy with having fun and enjoying your favorite bands in a destination location!

I have been familiar with Positive legacy since the spring of 2013 and have been hooked ever since! Music and philanthropy is such an important and powerful combination. Their motto of One World United Through Music is a great stance to get behind and a fantastic example of how we can all have fun AND give back too.
Absolutely loved being able to take a few hours during our vacation to give back to those in need. Thank you for the opportunity to do good!
Positive Legacy is one of the only nonprofits out there utilizing their shared interest in music as a platform to do good in the world. With their combined expertise as event industry and nonprofit professionals - and their collective passion for sustainability - Positive Legacy brings new perspective to identifying environmental and humanitarian urgencies in underserved communities. They’ve grown tremendously over the past decade and they are certainly a nonprofit to watch in the coming years as they help one another and our Mother Earth.
Exemplary group of hard-working, dedicated people bringing compassion, connection, service and fun wherever they go.
Amazing people doing great work!
Each year they raise money and give grants to small organizations and communities in need.
Diverting financial privilege back into communities needing support both in the US, Mexico and the Caribbean.
If you're looking for organizations that serve environmental and humanitarian causes in the music and events industry, look no further than Leaving A Positive Legacy. What started as a grassroots sustainability initiative for a single event is now a year-round philanthropic powerhouse that raised over a million dollars for charities throughout North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Leaving a Positive Legacy has been a part of so many wonderful campaigns to help so many people. During the pandemic, the non-profit pivoted to support musicians and their teams in a time that they were getting hit the hardest. Proud to be a part of the organization and always excited to hear about new campaigns and what is next.
Great group that connects music fans with the local areas/organizations where the shows happen. Love their work in Mexico at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya!
Positive Legacy is a non-profit giving back to communities worldwide as well as locally, and building lasting relationships with the areas and people that they serve. I have witnessed their dedication in person at many of the music events they partner with, where they provide on site support to the community, in the form of days of service, donations like school supplies and personal care items, and building camaraderie with locals and guests alike. PL is one of the only non profits out there doing what they do. They are amazing!!!
The name truly aligns with the organization's mission and their impact: Leaving a Positive Legacy. I've had the pleasure of following PL's efforts for years. Through this time PL has helped to construct much-needed schools, plant numerous trees, remove thousands of pounds of trash from nature, generate funds to support industry works impacted by Covid, and bring thousands of people together and unite through music. The impact of their work is impressive and the team & volunteers behind it are authentically mission-driven.
Leaving a Positive Legacy's name describes this organization to a T. PL truly does whatever it takes to make a difference in lives through the power of music. I've had the pleasure of seeing first hand the results of their labors. From building schools, to saving turtles, to planting trees, to generating funds for gig workers during Covid... their efforts are tireless. And at the same time incorporating live music and destination vacations into the mix.
I can't say enough positive things about Leaving a Positive Legacy.
Positive Legacy fills your heart while immersing yourself in diverse and rich cultural communities. My personal journey through this organization as a board member has fulfilled my soul, given me the access to truly connect with local people in need and has given me the opportunity to connect people on their vacations with necessary projects with communities that can use a little love. I think providing you with a personal story would be the best way to express my experiences with this nonprofit.
My first Jam Cruise as a board member, the first year Positive Legacy became an organization, we visited Belize. The non profit we visited for our Day of Service was the Monkey Sanctuary that had an after school program that focuses on teaching kids music, specifically with handcrafted hand drums. I happen to have an old pair of congas and brought them down to donate to the program. Emmitt the instructor and myself met at the Day of Service. I personally presented the congas to him and a tear rolled down his eyes. You have to understand that all the drums were hand carved Djembe style drums and he said as a lifelong drummer, he always wanted congas but didn't have access to them. We jammed with members of Leftover Salmon and others together that day. 8 years later we went back to Belize. Emmitt showed up at our Day of Service in a different location. Handed me a homemade little hand drum djembe. We hugged each other again. This time a tear was brought to my eyes.
I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering with Positive Legacy for many years now. The organization does an incredible job creating authentic and lasting relationships with the communities they support. When I donate to Positive Legacy I know they are making a lasting positive impact on the environment and on humanity as a whole.
Positive Legacy uses music as a platform to make effective improvements to the environment and communities in need. They are able to efficiently delegate resources to ensure maximum benefits to the recipients. I was able to be a part of their all natural waste water treatment project in Veron, Dominican Republic which used funds raised at the destination events in Punta Cana, DR to build a natural system to filter and provide clean water to over 150 families in a community that did not have a sewage system.
I was inspired to develop the first Positive Legacy service project back in 2004 when we planted trees at a elementary school in Nassau during the maiden voyage of Jam Cruise. As the years went by and we developed a number of service projects for live music events, more and more people got involved and showed up to do the work and to be of service...music fans, artists, partner organizations, volunteers and local community members. The power of Positive Legacy is its ability to touch people at their core and to bring them together to create positive change in the world...one world united through music!
