  • FUNDING

    As bars and restaurants across the country navigate reopening with lower capacities, reduced hours and changing costs, we’re seeing the need for support fluctuate from week to week, region to region. To accommodate this evolving need, the Bartenders Benevolent Fund COVID-19 Support Fund has shifted to a national application process, with only one form to apply for support.
