Support for Boston Symphony Laid Off Employees
Donation protected
Boston Symphony Orchestra Players have collected and donated $6,000 to this fund.
SCROLL DOWN FOR LINK TO APPLY FOR FUNDS - OR TO TELL US YOU OPT OUT.
On August 21, the Boston Symphony Orchestra laid off 50 full-time employees following a four month furlough. I created this fund to assist laid off workers with what I hoped would be a disbursement of $500 each.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, all full-time laid off employees now will receive significantly more than the original goal of $500.
I added part-time laid off employees (for example, ushers and symphony charge reps), and then a small, limited number of contracted part-timers with years of connections to the BSO, after the initial $25,000 goal, and then the $50,000 goal, were far exceeded. These individuals will receive smaller but hopefully useful amounts.
The fund's Founding Committee oversaw the first distribution of funds, and the Disbursement Committee, made up of individuals not employed by or laid from the BSO, will oversee the distribution of funds beginning the week of September 14.
If you are a laid off employee, please complete this form so that we may issue you funds from this campaign, or remove your name as a possible recipient:

If you are a full-time laid-off employee and fill-in this form, you should expect to have a check for $500 or more issued to you on Sept 4 or 11 from the Symphony Credit Union. If you are a part-time employee, you should expect to have a check issued to you on Sept 18 or 25.
Many laid off employees face uncertain futures, so any and all contributions are appreciated. Every dollar we receive, excepting the GoFundMe 3% fees, goes to affected employees.
With gratitude,
Tammy Lynch, on behalf of the Founding Committee
