NIVF Emergency Relief Fund
Pandemic & RecoveryAdministered by the National Independent Venue Foundation (NIVF), a 501(c)(3) organization, the NIVF Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) is dedicated to providing economic relief to independent, live performance venues and promoters, both for-profit and nonprofit, across the United States experiencing a critically severe financial emergency due to circumstances beyond their control. The ERF is a crucial initiative for NIVF and uniquely aligns with its mission to preserve and nurture our national independent, live entertainment community. While previously focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19, the new and reimagined ERF will now holistically cover unforeseeable situations beyond recipients’ control, including but not limited to natural disasters, public health crises, or acts of terrorism.
