New Orleans Musician Relief Fund
Music Maker Relief Foundation has begun this fund as 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 identified several other artists that can use our help. We have offered to help artists that work with the New Orleans Musicians Clinic to help with obtaining gas and food money.
According to Bethany Bultman of the New Orleans Musicians Clinic for the long term they will be focused in rebuilding musician's homes that were devastated by Katrina. We are committed to join NOMC in their efforts. If any church or civic group wishes to help rebuild homes of musicians that were devastated by the storm, please contact us.
We wish to thank-you for your contributions to this cause.
