The Musician Support Fund was launched on January 26 by industry body and charity Music Society Singapore (better known as SGMUSO), which aims to raise a total sum of S$1million throughout 2021. Its first phase has a target of $150,000. Donate to the fund here. The fund aims to financially support beneficiaries – referred to with the broad term “music people” – through five initiatives. These will help pay for daily living costs (“Fund-a-Bill”), the costs of putting on live-streamed performances from home (“Fund-a-Gig”) or an affiliate studio (“Fund-a-Band”), “upskilling opportunities” (“Fund-a-Skill”) and mental health and wellness support.
