John, the need is still urgent. Make a gift today!

John,

During this uncertain and difficult time, one thing that has encouraged me is seeing how many members of the entertainment community have stepped up to care for each other.

As so many people continue to struggle with the impacts of COVID-19, your support is still needed so The Actors Fund can provide critically needed services.

Your generosity will make a life-changing difference for someone during this crisis. As always, thank you for your support!

COVID-19 Update:
During this time of uncertainty, members of the performing arts and entertainment community need our help!

Dear John,

Since our last update, The Actors Fund has continued to receive a record number of calls and requests for assistance from the entertainment community.

So many people are suddenly out of work, and they may have unexpected bills to pay, have lost their health insurance or don’t know how they will earn money for rent. Many of them of have nowhere else to turn—and they are relying on us.

The situation is dire, and we must be the safety net that so many members of our Actors Fund family lack.

Your generous gift today will support vital programs during this uncertain time, such as:

• Offering emergency financial assistance to help with basic living expenses, such as essential medications, rent, utilities and food.
  
• Offering free online seminars with information on career enrichment, financial wellness, health insurance and affordable housing.
• Continuing to care for the older adults in our community at The Actors Fund Home and through our Seniors Program.
  
• Offering telemedicine screenings at The Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts
• And so much more!

Thank you for your support of our performing arts family!

Alex Agard
Senior Membership Associate
