Emergency Funding Options for Artists

EMERGENCY FUNDING OPTIONS FOR ARTISTS

Today I received an email from my friends at Liberated Muse with some great information for artists I thought I would share with you!

There are several organizations that provide artists with emergency funding assistance! Here are a couple they suggested:

1. MusicARES
   MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community. Go to www2.grammy.com/MusiCares/
2. The Musician's Foundation
   The Musicians Foundation helps professional musicians by providing emergency financial assistance in meeting current living, medical and allied expenses.
   Requests are handled by application which is available on the Internet and by mail from the Musicians Foundation, 875 Sixth Avenue, Room 2303, New York, NY 10001. You can also request one by telephone at 212.239.9137 or by E-mail from info@musiciansfoundation.org 

I hope this information is helpful!
