ABOUT THIS BALLOT

We successfully reached quorum on the 2022 Jazz Urbane Cafe Investment Ballot, on Thursday April 7, 2022. Together, members overwhelmingly approved a $200,000 loan, over 6 years. Overall, 55% of the electorate participated in this vote.

In February 2022, after being named as a start-up loved by members, Jazz Urbane joined Ujima’s Good Business Alliance, a network of community-based businesses that are eligible for investment from the Ujima Fund and other supportive programs.
