Impacted PMA Worker Fund
Donation protected
UPDATE 11/23: The Impacted PMA Worker Fund Request Fund is now closed because all available funds have been distributed. Please click here for Impacted PMA Worker Fund Round 2.---
PMA Workers Are the Art Museum. And Now We Need Your Help.
This is an independent, grassroots coworker-initiated fund for workers of the Philadelphia Museum of Art impacted by COVID-related furloughs, lay-offs, and contract terminations, or who are otherwise in financial hardship. The funds are open to any impacted current, laid-off, or otherwise recently separated PMA workers, including all subcontracted workers (such as Constellation, C-Tech, and Allied Barton), who are experiencing financial hardship.
What You Can Do
Your donation will be distributed to workers at the PMA who have lost their income or jobs to help them in this time of widespread need. Gifts of $100 each will be distributed on a rolling basis to individuals in the order in which we receive their request and as donations allow. Requesters will be notified automatically when their requests are received and again when their requests have been reviewed. We will post updates on this initiative here.
Want to do More?
We have been inspired to launch this fund by other important initiatives to provide museum worker aid, including the Museum Council of Greater Philadelphia Greater Philadelphia Museum Workers Fund, and the Museum Workers Relief Fund run by Museum Workers Speak . If you are in a position to donate further funds, we hope that you consider contributing to these other museum worker aid funds.
