Dear John,

For 142 years, the Entertainment Community Fund has been the only organization, with reach from coast to coast, committed to helping those who work the performing arts.

Thanks to your support, we’ve helped entertainment professionals in every region of the country—but for every thousand people we have met and served, there are many more who we have not yet reached.

That’s why we are currently in the middle of our ESSENTIAL Campaign, which will ensure that we can serve more members of our community. Your generous gift now will support the three goals of this campaign:

• Expand and Sustain Services: The ESSENTIAL Campaign will allow the Fund to triple the number of people we serve, as well as execute an innovative digital engagement strategy to provide customized assistance via our new online portal for professionals in the industry. We will also be able to provide more people in additional communities with services such as scholarships, mental health services, health insurance and career counseling.
• Grow the Emergency Relief Reserve Fund: We want to be better prepared for future emergencies. With funds raised through the ESSENTIAL Campaign, we will create an Emergency Relief Reserve Fund that will allow us to respond to critical needs immediately and robustly, no matter how unexpected or how severe.
• Support Mission-Critical Capital Projects: Recognizing that housing needs are urgent and growing, the Fund is deepening our commitment to ensuring those working in entertainment have safe and affordable places to live. These efforts include upgrading and modernizing residences we have in New Jersey and New York and completing construction on The Hollywood Arts Collective.

Your tax-deductible donation today will continue to provide security and stability for those in the performing arts and entertainment industry who need it most. Please give now!

John, your support makes such a difference. Thank you so much!
