Recent Charitable Causes - Tull and Fans Making a Difference

Over the years of this website, Jethro Tull and their fans have supported many worthy causes predominately within the realms of wild cat research and conservation, disaster relief, education, and historical preservation. Tull has either donated profits from events (or Ian's share) and fans, via the Amazon© commissions from buying albums via this website, have also also made significant contributions.

Here are a few events/causes sponsored by Tull and their fans:

  • Israeli Charities 2010 - Ian donated his profits from the 2010 Israeli tour to three initiatives that bring together children of different faiths and backgrounds from the Jewish Israeli, Muslim Arab and Christian communities to further, through joint education, better understanding and appreciation of the different faiths and their cultures.

  • Exeter Cathedral Performance - Exeter Cathedral Third Millennium Fund
    Ian donated profits for a special charity performance during his recent solo holiday tour to support music, fabric,
    and library archives at one of England's oldest churches. The event raised over £19,000. For more details, see the letter of thanks from Jill Taylor, campaign director.

  • "Flutewise" Performance
    Ian performed in a charity event donating concert profits of £7971.16 to "Flutewise," a UK-based charitable foundation creating possibilities for young people to develop flute-playing skills and attend educational events, summer schools, master classes, etc. Here's a summary of the event from the sponsor.

  • Icelandair Special Children Travel Fund Performance
    Ian donated his profits of over £3,800 from a recent show in Iceland for this fund supporting children with long-term illnesses and living in difficult circumstances, as well as their families. Here is a "thank you" letter from the fund's director with more details.

  • Geoffrey Cat Care - Big Cat Rescue
    $500 of fan Amazon© commissions is supporting the care of a geoffrey cat at Big Cat Rescue which houses many exotic small cat species mentioned in Tull's "Hunt by Numbers" from "Dot Com" such as caracals and margays.
    The geoffrey cat's habit is east of the Andes in South America. The sponsorship is kin to Tull fan's previous support of field research on the related, and very rare, Andean Mountain cat.
