KC Musicians Relief Fund Amid COVID-19
Donation protected
The Kansas City Music Community has held and nurtured us for most of our lives. Those of us close to the music community know how the financial pressures of those local musicians who through their hard work, dedication and talents, bring so much joy and excitement to our lives.
The widespread cancellation of bars and restaurants has had a disproportionate impact on our music community - especially those who rely on gigs to pay their bills. Creatives are people whose very existence relies on what they create and people being able to access their work.
A large percentage of artists supplement their incomes with part time jobs often in the service industry which is another industry that is being hit hard.
So if you love Kansas City music (and I know you do!), and you have the resources to, please consider pitching in to this KC Musicians Relief Fund. I have a small group of helpers that are not musicians, but are well-known in the music community. Between them and myself, we will enusre the money goes directly to musicians in the Kansas City area who have had their gigs cancelled.
This fund is aimed at helping those in the Kansas City area who have had ONE gig cancelled due to COVID-19. The scheduled performance would have been in either Kansas or Missouri, within the bounds of what is considered The Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area. Funds will be collected through April 30 and distributed equally to each musician who informs us of a legitimate gig that was cancelled in this area.
If you are an musician in need of funds, Click Here to take our survey and apply for relief. Recipients' names will not be published without his/her express permission yet will be verified by team members.
We can get through this together.
