The Actors Fund
[link removed]
Dear Actors Fund Friends,
As one month ends and another begins, we hope you have some warmth,
light and comfort in your summer days.
We are continuing our work to assist those in our performing arts and
entertainment community who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We
are incredibly proud to have distributed more than $13 million to more
than 11,000 professionals in our industry since March 18. However, as
theaters, TV sets and film productions remain shut down, we know even
more people will need help paying for essential goods like medications
and food

Many will also struggle with losing health insurance in the coming
months, so we are launching a new initiative to help people get and
stay insured: the Every Artist Insured campaign. With a lead gift of
$1,000,000 in support from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, we will
be able to hire and train additional health insurance counselors and
increase our free workshops, like Getting and Keeping Affordable
Health Insurance During COVID-19

We couldn't do this crucial work without your dedication. We
thank you for every donation you've made; every social media
post in support of our shows, fundraisers, programs and services;
every conversation you've had telling friends in our community
that if they need help, they should reach out to The Actors Fund. It
makes all the difference in the support we're able to give those
who need us the most.
