ABOUT
 
To address the severe impact COVID has had on our community, globalFEST has launched the  Assist Fund – an emergency fund open to artists and industry professionals. 
 
Made possible by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
 
Funds will be distributed as grants of $500
 
We know the need is great, and so we are fundraising as part of our support drive to raise even more to support for this direct giving initiative. You can donate to the Assist Fund today:
