The Actors Fund
[link removed]
Dear Actors Fund Friends,
We are so grateful to everyone who joined us in celebrating Giving
Tuesday yesterday! Thanks to the generosity of a donor who matched all
gifts up to $10,000, plus all of your contributions, Facebook and
Instagram fundraisers, social media posts and incredible encouragement
to support a life in the arts, we far exceeded our $10,000 matching
gift goal!

These funds will be put to work right away to support those in need in
our performing arts and entertainment community, from providing
emergency financial assistance to help with medical bills, paying
rent, buying groceries and more; to offering health insurance
enrollment and counseling; to caring for our seniors at The Actors
Fund Home; to offering support groups for young performers in our
Looking Ahead program; and so much more.
But our work is far from over. Unemployment is still an issue for
thousands in our industry, and our Career Center is ready to help with
free, online workshops such as How to Job Search During a Pandemic. To
help manage the numerous stresses so many are facing right now,
we're offering daily mindfulness meditation sessions

to make sure people can strategically and successfully manage their
income and savings, especially at such an unpredictable time.

We couldn't do this life-saving work without your continued
generosity. We hope you enjoy these upcoming virtual performances and
experiences as we head into the holiday season!

Buggy struggles to find a position in his disintegrating community,
along with a place in his daughter's wounded heart.
