John,

Time is quickly running out for our 2025 Matching Gift Challenge—please don’t delay!

I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to have 3X the impact on the performing arts and entertainment community.

We continue to receive requests for help from across the country. Our program teams are already anticipating that we will receive even more calls for help in 2026, as many performing arts professionals are struggling to put food on their tables, afford health care or pay for other critical expenses.

Your matching gift will support critical programs that:

• Provide affordable housing for members of our community;
• Provide senior care services tailored to industry professionals who are 65 years and older;
• Provide life-affirming guidance in career counseling, health insurance assistance and financial wellness;
• Provide emergency financial assistance to help people in need with essential expenses such as rent, mortgage payments, food, utility bills and health care;
• And so much more!

With members of our community facing so many challenges, the Fund must rise to meet the moment of this matching gift opportunity—and your year-end gift will provide TRIPLE the support for individuals in need of assistance.

John, our ability to provide this crucial safety net relies on your generosity! Your gift will change someone’s life—there is truly no better time to show your dedication.

As always, thank you for supporting a life in the arts!

Barbara Davis (she, her, hers)
