Dear Actors Fund Friends,
We're proud to announce that The Actors Fund has distributed
more than $10.6 million to more than 9,900 professionals in the
performing arts and entertainment community in response to the
COVID-19 Pandemic. This record-breaking amount, granted in just the
past eight weeks, helps the most vulnerable members of the performing
arts and entertainment community by providing assistance for basic
living expenses including essential medications, housing costs, food
and utilities.
We couldn't have done this without your participation. Thank
you to everyone who has donated to our COVID-19 Emergency Assistance
program, and to all those who have tuned in to the incredible online
concerts, shows and fundraisers that have not only helped us raise
crucial financial support, but also have brought joy and hope into our
homes.
We know the journey ahead is a long one, and people will need us more
than ever in the coming weeks and months as theaters, concert halls,
TV shows and films remain closed. But we hope you'll continue to
tune in as we share online events of music, laughter and virtual
togetherness.
