Save Our Stages Act Has passed as part of the COVID-19 Relief Bill
Thank you for helping to #SaveOurStages! NIVA thanks those across the country who sent 2.1 million emails to their elected officials expressing their support for the Save Our Stages Act. All 535 Congresspeople heard from their constituents through SaveOurStages.com. We encourage you to tell your legislators you appreciate their support and for including independent venues and promoters in the latest COVID-19 Relief Bill!
Without your support and continued attention, we could not have accomplished this goal together!
WHAT’S NEXT
We know you have many questions about the Save Our Stages Act and how it will be administered. NIVA has assembled the Implementation Task Force and is working with the Small Business Administration as they promulgate regulations - we are working hard to make sure that NIVA members receive the help they need via this program. We seek to ensure the emergency relief is dispersed as Congress intended, that the instructions and process to apply for grants ensure that the process is implemented accurately, fairly and as expediently as possible.

Save Our Stages Fest
Rave reviews of #SOSFEST are pouring in from all over the world. But don’t worry if you missed it, we have you covered. You can still watch – or re-watch – the performances and snag some merch. All donations will still continue to benefit the NIVA Emergency Relief, which directly supports our most vulnerable venues experiencing catastrophic revenue loss.
