The Actors Fund
[link removed]
Dear Actors Fund Friends,
We'll be honest: 2020 wasn't the year anyone had hoped
for. But in the face of excruciating loss and unimaginable challenges,
our performing arts community reinvented itself and proved that we
will always rally around one another to make sure those in need are
taken care of.
Since March, The Actors Fund has distributed more than $18.3 million
to more than 14,800 people in the performing arts and entertainment
industry who needed help. We couldn't do any of that without the
incredible commitment and dedication of all of you, who have supported
us at every twist and turn.
We know that the coming year will bring additional obstacles and
needs, and we're ready to meet 2021 head-on. But we have hope;
we aren't looking to go back to how things were before, but
rather to something new.
Thank you for continuing to be on this journey with us! We hope you
tune in to the exciting virtual events we having coming up this week.
And if you're able to do so, please consider making a donation
to our Matching Gift Challenge! All donations received by the end of
the day will be matched, up to $50,000!

Have a happy and safe New Year, and we'll see you in 2021!
