We are so grateful to the National Independent Venue Association for all of their hard work in getting the Save Our Stages Act passed as a part of the Covid-19 Relief Bill. Philadelphia played in a big part in getting this passed as World Cafe Owner Hal Real is the founder and president of NIVA. Their hard work has done so much to help venues and promoters all over the country, including Broadway theaters.
NIVA is currently working hard to get immediate relief to the entertainment industry with its The Giving Back Fund, a 501(c)3 that is sending financial aid to venues at greatest risk of permanently shutting down soon. For information on how you can donate and learn more about NIVA, please visit nivassoc.org.
