Dancers Disaster Relief Fund

Hey Y'all! This fundraiser is run by The Dance Union, an organizing group facilitated by J Bouey, Melanie Greene, Troy Ogilvie, Christine Wyatt, and Jeremy Guyton as the Twerk Team. The Twerk Team members are also Co-Hosts of The Dance Union Podcast.

This fund is meant to meet the needs of dance artists affected by climate disasters.

We are prioritizing the needs of BIPOC, disabled, trans/NB/GNC/queer, dance artists as well as those who will not have access to emergency funds due to immigration status in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi impacted by Hurricane Ida in these ways:

• traveling with elders and babies
• dance artists who are unable to apply for FEMA
• dance artists who have lost work due to IDA

This Fund offers urgent relief to dance artists that have suffered losses due to Hurricane Ida on a rolling basis between now and Oct 1st, 2021

HOW TO REQUEST SUPPORT: Email [email redacted] with "Dancers Disaster Relief Fund" in the subject line.

• We are only able to distribute funds through Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle
• Please allow up to 7 business days after receipt of email to expect a response between now and Oct 1st, 2021
