ARCADIA FIRE – PLUS1 HAS STARTED A COVID-19 RELIEF FUND.

THE ORGANIZATION THAT GREW FORM ARCADIA FIRE – PLUS1 HAS STARTED A COVID-19 RELIEF FUND.

PLUS1 grew out of the band Arcade Fire, who were looking for a way to support Haiti and realized the power that lay with the most passionate and committed people they knew: their audience. By including and committing to a $1 donation from every concert ticket sold, together with education and creative outreach, the band created a new community of support for Haiti. PLUS1 was formed to build on this success and bring together artists and millions of concert goers together with this same small act—a $1 donation from every concert ticket sold. It starts with just $1 but the collective impact of the community is exponentially bigger.

“In response to the devastating outbreak, PLUS1 has launched a PLUS1 COVID-19 Relief Fund to coordinate our efforts to support those in our community most at risk from the pandemic.”

ARCADIA FIRE – PLUS1 HAS STARTED A COVID-19 RELIEF FUND. PLUS1 is an innovative solution to drive social change and catalyze cultural momentum toward equity, dignity, and access for all.

Through alliances with live events we mobilize support for causes that are already doing rigorous work and producing measurable results. Shoulder-to-shoulder, these dollars have provided essential health care. They have built schools and enhanced education systems. As well as purchased land for conservation, have created safety and community for LGBTQ folks, have cared for those who had to flee their homes, who are seeking asylum. Lastly they have built leadership systems in some of the poorest areas of the planet.

*Plus 1 is supported by individual partnerships and philanthropy which enables us to ensure every “+1” dollar raised goes directly to support our recipient organizations.
