THE PROGRAM ALLOCATES $15 BILLION IN FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIEF VIA THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. COVID-19 IMMEDIATE RELIEF:THE NIVA EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE CRITICAL SHORT]TERM ASSISTANCE TO THOSE INDEPENDENT VENUES AND PROMOTERS IN THE U.S. ON THE PRECIPICE OF CLOSING FOREVER AS THEY AWAIT FEDERAL RELIEF. THE ORGANIZATION LAUNCHED A THREE-DAY VIRTUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL AND FUNDRAISER WITH YOUTUBE MUSIC CALLED #SOS FEST. SVOG IMPLEMENTATION:NIVA CREATED AND LED THE SAVE OUR STAGES CAMPAIGN THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO PASSAGE OF THE $16 BILLION SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATOR GRANT (SVOG) THAT SECURED THE FUTURE OF THE INDEPENDENT LIVE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. TO DATE, $13.5 BILLION IN EMERGENCY RELIEF HAS GONE TO NEARLY 13,000 INDEPENDENT MUSIC AND COMEDY VENUES, FESTIVALS AND PROMOTERS, BROADWAY THEATERS, CINEMAS, ZOOS, AQUARIUMS, AND MUSEUMS. NIVA HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SVOG AND IS LEADING THE EFFORT WITHIN THE MEMBER COMMUNITY INCLUDING SENDING IN-DEPTH NOTES, SCHEDULING SEMINARS WITH ACCOUNTING EXPERTS, HOLDING TOWN HALL MEETINGS, AND REPLYING TO THOUSANDS OF EMAILS ABOUT THE PROCESS. NIVA REMAINS ON THE FRONT LINES OF ACTIVISM AND POLICY, WHILE ENSURING A MORE (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)EQUITABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ITS MEMBERS. REOPENING RESOURCES:A NATIONWIDE REOPENING OF THE LIVE SECTOR IS UNPRECEDENTED, AND DOING SO WITH UNCERTAIN HEALTH RISKS AND EVER-CHANGING REGULATIONS WAS A SEPARATE CHALLENGE ALTOGETHER. NIVA CREATED A REOPENING TASK FORCE TO MONITOR AND COMPILE REGULATIONS RELATED TO REOPENING AND DAILY OPERATIONS FOR STATES AND MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE REOPENING TASK FORCE CREATED A USER-FRIENDLY REOPENING CHECKLIST TO GUIDE MEMBERS THROUGH THE PROCESS, AS WELL AS A CDC-REVIEWED VENUE RESOURCE GUIDE. THESE TOOLS WERE INVALUABLE TO A SECTOR OF INDEPENDENT OPERATORS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO NAVIGATE NEW REGULATIONS AND PRACTICES ON THEIR OWN. 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 27 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 9 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X X TINA BEYERS 3472688249 209 W 29TH STREET 263 NEW YORK NY 10001 X DAYNA FRANK PRESIDENT 40.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHEN CHILTON VICE PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AUDREY FIX SCHAEFER VICE PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHEN STERNSHEIN TREASURER 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDRE PERRY SECRETARY 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HAL REAL BOARD MEMBER 30.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GRACE BLAKE BOARD MEMBER 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY MADRIGALI BOARD MEMBER 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JUSTIN KANTOR BOARD MEMBER 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 REV MOOSE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (SEE SCHEDULE L) 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BULLDOG DIGITAL MEDIA 1236 SOUTH SIERRA BONITA AVENUE LOS ANGELES CA 90019 EVENT PRODUCTION CONSULTANTS 647080 AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD LLP 2001 K STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20006 LEGAL AND LOBBYING STRATEGY 294511 HEALTH SCREENING SOLUTIONS 924 VALMONT STREET STE 300 NEW ORLEANS LA 70115 COVID TESTING/SCREENING 231190 3 3549942 3549942 MERCHANDISE SALES&FEES 900099 303545 303545 303545 LICENSE FEES 900099 3495 3495 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 650 650 4145 3857632 303545 0 4145 X 610812 135025 37900 283333 511715 47581 975 84825 5375 8355 PRODUCTION COSTS 2091133 CREDIT CARD PROC.
