Enjoy Music while Giving Back to the Arts | Common Roots – A Social Cause Music Festival | May 23, 2020

As we face perhaps the biggest challenge of our lifetimes during the COVID-19 pandemic, India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) needs your support more than ever to continue enabling artists to sustain their work and continue to create. This builds hope in communities; helps to keep us grounded and human. As you support the myriad others who need us to stand by them at this critical hour, do also help us so we can make many more grants to artists and scholars who themselves are in dire situations.
