SUPPORT THE SCENE

With venues and bars shuttered, fundraising campaigns are underway for staff — house sound engineers, bartenders, security, door people, etc. Here’s how to help:

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for staff at the Troubadour. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Teragram Ballroom and the Moroccan Lounge. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Satellite. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Hi Hat. Donate.

■ The Hotel Café is soliciting donations via it tickets page, with 100% of the proceeds going to employees who are jobless because the venue is shuttered. Donate.

■ The Bootleg Theater, which is operated by the nonprofit Rampart Theater Project, sent out a message to patrons thanking them for past support and noting that tax-deductible donations may still be made. Donate here. There is also a GoFundMe campaign. Donate here.

■ Zebulon Café has set up a GoFundMe page for its employees. Donate.

■ The Lodge Room (and adjacent Checker Hall) has a GoFundMe for their employees. Donate.

■ Gold-Diggers has launched a GoFundMe campaign for its staff. Donate.

■ Downtown’s Resident has a GoFundMe campaign ongoing for its staff. Donate.

■ The recently reopened Airliner has set up a GoFundMe page for its people. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for staff at La Cita. Donate.

■ The 1933 Group, owner of 11 establishments including Highland Park Bowl, both Bigfoot Lodges, the Sassafras Saloon and the Thirsty Crow, is taking a novel approach to fundraising: They’re selling “bonds.” Essentially gift certificates, the bonds are worth $100 in future purchases, and they’re being sold at a discount for $80. More information here.

■ DoLA— the popular website and email newsletter that’s a virtual city guide to all things music, arts and culture — is soliciting donations for its staff. Like many outlets who depend on marketing dollars (including this site), DoLA’s revenue has plummeted to zero because of the lockdown. Their plea is simple: help us stay in business.

■ Amoeba Music has started a GoFundMe to help their three stores (their flagship Berkeley, San Francisco, and relocating Hollywood locations) which have been shuttered since mid-March. More info and donations accepted here.
