Wondering how to aid musicians whose gigs have been cancelled? Equal Sound's Corona Relief Fund is providing a frictionless way for such musicians to apply for help, and for the rest of us to donate. Created by Nick Norton of Equal Sound, a 501(c)3 organization based in Los Angeles, the Corona Relief Fund provides musicians with a simple online application form.

If approved, they will receive up to $500 per cancelled performance. Within a few days, CRF has raised some $15K and received more than $500K in requests for aid.
