Artist Rights Alliance
2 min readDec 7, 2020

It goes without saying that the music industry has been particularly decimated over the past 9 months. Coupled with the impending end of Federal aid to millions of contract workers and the dwindling of much of the private funding that has been a lifeline to individuals in the pandemic, we are facing greater needs than ever.

If you find yourself in the position to give and/or feel moved to help this season, below we have included a list of music charities helping individuals, action items for advocacy efforts, and a few broader charities for end of year giving.

Music Charities:
