Apply for Aid - Creative Washtenaw

Application for Creative Washtenaw AID
Creative Washtenaw established the Creative Washtenaw AID fund to collect donations and extend assistance to the artists, creative workers, organizations and businesses adversely impacted by COVID-19. As funds are raised, aid is distributed.
The aim is success. We'll get there by working together. Apply for aid first. Then, encourage everyone - people, businesses and foundations - to give. The more raised, the more aid can be given.
