@socanmusic Launches Relief Fund for SOCAN Members!
While SOCAN members are quarantining, the SOCAN Foundation offers this program to provide some financial support to music creators and publishers to get through these unprecedented times. This new fund is open to all SOCAN members who have earned more than $500 in royalties in the four most recent SOCAN distributions.
The Board of Directors generously allocated a total of $500,000, which will be available for distribution from the SOCAN Foundation Relief Fund. These grants are valued at $250 each.
Applications will be accepted from June 26, 2020 until August 15, 2020. Applicants are encouraged to submit applications early as once funds are exhausted, the application portal will be closed

Due to COVID-19, research indicates that 96% of the independent music industry across Canada, including over 90% of independent venues, will disappear in a matter of months without financial aid from the government. There will be no Canadian live music industry to come back to when venues are finally allowed to re-open.
