Emergency Funding

We encourage you to check out our events section for upcoming and past (archived) events related to financial and legal support for artists.

Please note: Some of the relief efforts included in this category are managed by nonprofits, foundations, and other organizations with a history of distributing grants to artists. Others are new funds set up specifically to relieve artists in financial crisis as a result of COVID-19. We cannot vouch for the methods by which all funds/services are distributed, and welcome any feedback via our submission form! Please note: never share social security number or bank account number through a Google form.

Are you planning on starting an emergency relief fund? We recommend this resource from Springboard for the Arts.
