With the entire nation grappling with the horrors of the ongoing pandemic, the call for action to pool resources and help those in dire need has been met with mass activism and donation campaigns to help the community.
Heading the activation of funds and resources are creative companies who understand that there’s an unprecedented need for online fundraising now more than ever in these difficult times. This serves a larger cause, as organizations collectively transition their in-person events into virtual events dedicated to COVID-19 relief work, spin-up campaign pages for emergency funding, and work to keep the lights on during this global crisis.
Homegrown brings you a quick list of campaigns that contribute to the cause:
Arjun Vagale - SOS (Various Artists Charity Compilation)
Arjun Vagale, one of India’s most prolific DJ’s has stepped forward along with other artists including the likes of @dotdat, @kohra from the Indian electronic music community in aid of Hemkunt foundation to compile a mix of unreleased music that is available exclusively via Bandcamp. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Hemkunt Foundation, an NGO doing on-ground COVID-19 relief work and supplying oxygen to critical patients.
My aim was to put this project out as soon as possible so we can start generating funds immediately. We need to help NOW! I want to thank all the artists who stepped up & came together.Please go buy & support this release - every rupee you donate will help save a life, and you’ll get some amazing music in return for your generosity. Please share this with your friends & family so we can amplify this and generate as much money as we can to donate.
