There are national and local organizations all over working to provide relief funds to musicians and other performing artists. I helped found one for New England: New England Musicians Relief Fund www.nemrf.org and I'm trying to get an article in our alumni magazine about it.
Here are some others:
https://actorsfund.org/
https://www.sweetrelief.org/
https://www.savenycmusicians.com/
https://www.gofundme.com/.../philadelphia-musicians...
https://cfm10208.com/.../donate-to-musicians-emergency...
I know there are more. Search for the area you live and "musicians relief" or "actors relief" or "dancers relief" - whatever performing art you love most.
