AGMA Artists have been out of work since March. Since then, the AGMA Relief Fund experienced a 2,000% increase in applications for assistance; more than it had ever seen in its 75-years of existence. Thankfully, the generosity of previous donors prepared the Relief Fund for a dark crisis such as this.
With another wave of COVID-19, comes another wave of grant applications. We need your help so we can continue to provide grants to eligible Artists in danger of not having food, lodging, medication, and other life sustaining necessities.
On this #GivingTuesday, there are a number of ways you can support the AGMA Relief Fund.
1) Donate! Make a gift of any size to the AGMA Relief Fund
2) Shop! Purchases through AmazonSmile or Eat4Art can benefit the Relief Fund
3) Encourage others to participate! Forward this email to your network of friends who love and support the Arts
4) Spread our message! Post about the AGMA Relief Fund on your social media platforms
The AGMA Relief Fund depends 100% on donations (which are tax deductible!) in order to confidentially provide both financial and other temporary, emergency relief to AGMA members. #GivingTuesday is an opportunity for friends and supporters of the AGMA community to come together and support the Relief Fund’s longstanding mission of helping Artists who “have fallen upon bad days.” Assist the AGMA Relief Fund on this #GivingTuesday by sharing our efforts with your network and/or making a gift of any size.
COVID-19 may be keeping many of us apart, but we can still accomplish so much together. We thank you in advance for being an AGMA Relief Fund advocate.
