Served as the Indiana leadership team and Midwest “Captains” For NIVA’s Save Our Stages Campaign resulting in the landmark federal program - Shuttered Venue Operators Grants awarding over 15 billion dollars in pandemic relief to independent venues nationwide.

Your Donation Counts
Emergency Relief
We’ve established grant programs to provide emergency relief for independent venues. Reaction time is crucial when faced the unexpected, like the Covid-19 pandemic. IIVA funds are accessible to venues and their employees much faster than state and federal aid. Our grant programs are exclusively funded by direct donations and IIVA fundraisers.
Stabilize Employees
As small businesses, our employees are our family. Our “work” families span a wide range of professions, many of which do not offer financial aid, including sound techs, lighting engineers, production managers and performing artists.
Education & Policy
IIVA provides educational and instructional opportunities to music venues to ensure operators are using industry best practices. Collectively, IIVA communicates with local and state officials on regulations affecting the live music industry.
