The sixth federal COVID-19 relief package, the American Rescue Plan, will extend or expand nearly every form of federal assistance available to orchestras amid the coronavirus pandemic, including the Shuttered Venue Operators Grants, Employee Retention Tax Credit, and National Endowment for the Arts funding. The relief package also introduces new opportunities. On Friday, March 19 at 1:00 pm Eastern/10:00 am Pacific, the League of American Orchestras’ Washington, DC-based advocacy team will present a quick review of the latest developments and a guided tour of League COVID-19 resources. Free for League members, the webinar will provide greater understanding of how the new COVID-19 relief package applies to orchestras, explore League resources that can help orchestras navigate various forms of relief, and explain how to stay engaged with policy leaders in the coming months. The March 19 webinar will be followed by additional learning events that take deeper dives into relief provisions.
The free, League member-only webinar on the latest COVID-19 relief opportunities takes place on Friday, March 19 at 1:00 pm Eastern/10:00 am Pacific. Learn more and register here.
