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.
As a tax-exempt, nonprofit arts organization, The Vera Project is facilitating the DIY Community Relief Fund to help sustain some of the most vulnerable people and places in our shared communities. In solidarity with our coalition of 25+ Pacific Northwest DIY spaces, we hope to raise at least $25,000 to keep community-driven music and art alive in the Pacific Northwest.
If you have a press inquiry or would like to get involved as a DIY Community Coalition Member, potential fund beneficiary, or community sponsor, please contact Ricky Graboski at ricky@theveraproject.org.
