Artist Relief is a volunteer coalition effort working to help the nation’s artists. United States Artists is the 501(c)(3) coalition partner accepting all donations on behalf of Artist Relief.

Below is a list of how we are currently able to accept donations; we have streamlined the administration process due to limited staff capacity and appreciate your understanding that we are unable to make exceptions. Please read the list closely before contacting us as responses to email inquiries may be delayed due to one staff member managing the inbox. The last date to make a donation is June 4, 2021.

  • ONLINE DONATIONS: All donations under $5,000 can be made through the Artist Relief website or through PayPal only. Due to limited capacity, we are unable to accept checks. Thank you for understanding there are no exceptions. 

  • FUNDRAISERS: If you are interested in creating a fundraiser for Artist Relief, we have a GoFundMe page under United States Artists name. All proceeds will be donated to Artist Relief. Due to limited capacity, we are unable to work on other platforms. Thank you for your understanding.

  • INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS OVER $5,000: If you are an individual wishing to make a donation of $5,000 or more, please note that we are currently able to process contributions that are multiples of $5,000 ($5,000, $10,000, $15,000, etc.) To fund one or more emergency grant(s), please email us at donate@artistrelief.org and we’ll be happy to send USA’s wire transfer instructions or confirm the address to mail a check. Again, as a result of extremely limited staff, we can only process contributions that generate one grant.

  • FOUNDATIONS AND DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS: If you are a foundation or donating through a Donor Advised Fund, we are currently able to process contributions that are multiples of $5,000 ($5,000, $10,000, $15,000, etc.) To fund one or more emergency grant(s), please email us at donate@artistrelief.org and we’ll be happy to send USA’s wire transfer instructions or confirm the address to mail a check. Again, as a result of extremely limited staff, we can only process contributions that generate one grant.

Any contributions under $5,000 left after Artist Relief distributes its final grants will be donated to emergency funds. The Artist Relief coalition of volunteers thank you for joining us in this critical initiative to get emergency grants into the hands of artists in need.
