Why donate?

Do you love concerts, performances, and cultural events? Are you a fan of live music and entertainment? San Francisco’s music and entertainment venues need your help during this challenging time. Your tax-deductible donation will help provide grants and support for nightlife businesses during and after the pandemic. 

Launched in March 2021 by the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Music and Entertainment Venue Recovery Fund will provide grants directly to San Francisco’s shuttered music and entertainment venues to:

• prevent their permanent closure due to the devastating financial losses of the pandemic
• support their reopening or relocation within San Francisco
• put them on a path to present live music and entertainment again in the future

Donations of any amount can be made. Donations over $100 will be acknowledged on the City of San Francisco website.
