Staff at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, including members of the BAM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) task force and members of the BAM union bargaining committee started a mutual aid fund in 2020 to provide financial support to current and former BAM employees due to the impact of COVID-19.
Regardless of whether you are a new or a returning applicant, and even if you don’t have an immediate financial need please fill out as much of this form as you can so we can get to know how you are doing!
