Indy Arts & Culture COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund

The Indy Arts & Culture COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund was created for individuals working in the arts sector and impacted by the current public health crisis. Primary concern is for the health and well being of individuals: specifically independent artists and staff working for small-to-midsize nonprofit arts and cultural organizations. This fund will provide rapid response $500 grants to help bridge the severe lost wages that make many in our creative community vulnerable.

ILYSM Collective grant

We will be giving a weekly $500 grant to an artist with financial need whose main source of income has been affected by COVID-19 shutdowns. We are committing to offering this grant through the week of 5/14 and for as long as we are able to after that.

Essex County Artist Fund

We invite Essex County artists and creative producers who have experienced losses due to the COVID-19 crisis to join our growing Creative County Initiative network through this new program fund. While our financial support is a drop in a very large bucket of need across our county, we view this as a time to connect with you and amplify your work and visibility as an artist.

Entertainment Industry Relief Fund

For those in the entertainment industry impacted by COVID-19. Our goal is to get funds to applicants who meet the criteria as soon as possible. If you applied and haven’t received a response, please be patient.

Emergency & Disaster Grant Information Request Form

The Broadcasters Foundation of America provides Emergency & Disaster Grants to radio and television broadcasters find themselves in acute financial need and do not have insurance to cover their losses after a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, tornado or wildfire, extreme flooding, house fire, or other serious misfortune.

Creative Community Fund

We pair people in the music industry who need financial help due to COVID-19 with people who can help.
