We’re so grateful for all of the generosity and support we received last week in celebration of Giving Tuesday!

We are excited to share that thanks to the generosity of The Jean & Albert Nerken Foundation and Jeff & Tina Bolton, any gift you make to The Actors Fund from now until December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar—up to $50,000!

We’re hoping that you’ll take the opportunity to make your year-end contribution now. Your gift will do twice the good!

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Broadway and most live performances throughout the country remain closed for the foreseeable future. And even when they return, it won’t be in the same capacity.

That’s why we know that the urgent requests for help that we are receiving from actors, dancers, stagehands, musicians, costume designers, writers and others will keep coming. These are people who dedicate their lives to the arts, and are now struggling to pay rent, buy groceries and even afford medicine.

This year, with your support, we’ve helped over 30,000 professionals in the entertainment industry. But we need your continued dedication to the performing arts community before the end of this year to ensure we are equipped to respond to additional requests next year.

Please take advantage of the Matching Gift Challenge today. You’ll help provide the critical safety net that performing arts professionals need throughout their lives.

I hope you feel proud knowing that you are supporting the members of our community most in need!
