San Francisco Artists Relief Fund
Given how long the financial consequences of the coronavirus pandemic will last, the Fund welcomes additional funds to help artists in the City and County of San Francisco.
The City has made $250,000 available to individual artists, with additional support from the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation. Renamed the San Francisco Artists Relief Fund, the Fund will directly support the financial needs of artists of historically vulnerable communities who have been impacted by the COVID-19 related economic shutdown.
The Fund will prioritize the financial needs of artists who are of and serving cultural populations that have been and remain financially vulnerable—black, indigenous, immigrant, trans, and people with disabilities. It is imperative that we do not lose their participation in shaping the County’s unique and diverse cultural identity. Individuals may apply for up to $2,000 and use the award however they see fit.
