The relief fund is now open, grants are being distributed and submissions are being taken for other grants, according to organizers. Donations are accepted on the Comedy Gives Back website.

The "Laugh Aid" event is being produced in partnership with Laugh Lounge, Comedy Central, Starburns Audio, All Things Comedy and Earwolf.
