The current disturbing time also make way to great initiatives for and by musicians. One of them is the foundation of the so-called MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, which has set out the following targets:
The Recording Academy’s MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund will provide assistance to those in the music industry affected by the coronavirus outbreak and subsequent cancellation of multiple music events. From hotel and bar gigs to major music festivals, COVID-19 is deeply impacting live music events, and the creative community behind it all. Administered through MusiCares, the COVID-19 Fund will be used to directly support those in the music community with the greatest need. MusiCares was established by the Recording Academy to safeguard the health and well-being of all music people – offering confidential preventive, recovery, and emergency programs to address financial, medical, and personal health issues.
