Information about the Music Maker Relief Foundation

Sep 22 2005

Music Maker Relief Foundation has created the New Orleams Musicians Fund which is a heartfelt response to aid the New Orleans musicians. Many artists have lost their homes, are living in new cities and are trying to figure out what to do next.

This fund has been set up so these musicians in need can get help. Grants will be made for basic living expenses such as gasoline, food, rent, clothing and instrument replacement. We are sending out care packages of t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts. Our Programs Coordinator will help artists connect with FEMA, the Red Cross, Social Services and Musicares as well as passport replacement, finding performance opportunities and relocation expenses.

The more money we raise the more artists we can help. We are already assisting established Music Maker recipient artists affected by Katrina and have offered grants for day-to-day expenses to artists referred to us by the New Orleans Musicians Clinic.

We wish to thank-you for your contributions to this cause.
