SF Opens Applications for Grants to Music and Nightlife Venues
As promised earlier this year, the first round of grants from SF s Music and Entertainment Venue Recovery Fund is about to beginning taking applications.
The fund, spearheaded by Supervisor Matt Haney and given its initial $3 million in funding from the city s $24.8 million surprise surplus, will be administered by the city s Office of Small Business, in partnership with the Controller, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development and the Entertainment Commission. And music and nightlife venues can apply for grants of $10,000 or more with priority given to venues in imminent danger of closing, and those over 15 years old.

Systemic racism, the scourge of mass incarceration, private prisons, failure on the part of private companies and public officials to deal effectively with the COVID-19 pandemic, and an assault on the people’s media all play a role in this fight.
