The South Asian Arts Resiliency Fund is a direct response by the India Center Foundation to offer support to South Asian arts workers impacted by COVID-19.

"We are expanding our Emergency Fund to meet the escalating need in our Indo-Caribbean community. Our community members are primarily based in Queens, New York the epicenter of the epicenter of this pandemic, and we have received more requests for support in the last few weeks than in the entire rest of the year. Funds will go to women and gender-fluid people who are facing financial crisis in this moment. They support essential needs like groceries, rent, baby items, masks and gloves, and other emerging needs. Priority will be given to working class people, survivors of gender-based violence, and their children." To request support, email jahajeesisters@gmail.com or call 347.201.4931.

The Caribbean Equality Project's (CEP) COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund For Black & Brown Queer and Trans People is a response to the devastating effects of the outbreak. Undocumented workers and LGBTQ people are disproportionately impacted, and our Black and brown, queer and trans low-income members have asked us for financial relief. We are dedicated to providing resources, guidance, emotional support, and material aid throughout this period of uncertainty. But we cannot do that without the donations of people who can afford to contribute to this fund.

​

DROM NYC's hard working 30 or so full time, part time and independent staff, have been hit hard. Today, we turn to you to ask for your help to keep DROM afloat in these times of uncertainty. 100% of revenue from this campaign will funnel back into keeping our staff hired throughout the closure. â€‹
