ABOUT THE FUND
The DIY Community Relief Fund is a collaborative fundraising effort by Seattle nonprofits, small businesses, and artists to save vital music and arts community spaces that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 in Washington and beyond. 100% of all proceeds support our most beloved unconventional venues and the gig & production workers that make them possible, a majority of which do not qualify for formal means of institutional support.
Donate today to help us keep DIY alive in the Pacific Northwest.
THANK YOU for all of the ongoing support for our DIY Community Relief Fund! We've now been able to raise and distribute nearly $60,000 to sustain community-driven cultural spaces in Washington. Your June contributions alone gave us the opportunity to send out $1,500 each to LANGSTON, Wa Na Wari, The Trans Women of Color Solidarity Network, Seattle Artist Relief Fund (SARF), WA-BLOC, KCEN, Community Passageways, NW Community Bail Fund, and more. Please follow and continue to support the incredible work of every single one of these organizations, and stay tuned for more to come from VERA shortly. In the meantime, help us keep up the pressure to defund the police, reinvest in community, and free the protestors by calling your representatives today.
Vera is excited to be streaming weekly episodes that showcase local & national bands and artists, workshops, and a whole lot more! Tune in Friday's at 7:30pm PST starting May 15th on our YouTube channel
