Donate to Support LA Wildfire Recovery
In the wake of the recent wildfires, countless residents of the Los Angeles community—both on and off screen—have been deeply affected. During this difficult time, the entertainment industry stands together to help those in need. If you are in a position to help, please donate to the organizations below, which are dedicated to disaster relief and rebuilding efforts, supporting the resilience and recovery of those who make our creative community thrive. Below are three organizations dedicated to helping artists in need that would benefit greatly from your kind donations.
The SAG-AFTRA Foundation, a 501(c)(3), provides a vital safety net to SAG-AFTRA artists nationwide by offering financial assistance programs, as well as free educational and career-building resources. The Foundation's Disaster Relief Fund is aiding SAG-AFTRA artists and their families whose homes were destroyed or are uninhabitable due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The Foundation is helping them to get into long term housing so they can begin to rebuild.
The Entertainment Community Fund, formerly The Actors Fund, helps professionals on stage and behind the scenes, on camera and off, throughout their lives. The Fund provides emergency financial assistance, affordable and senior housing opportunities, health care and more. They are part of our industry’s safety net—throughout the pandemic and work stoppages—and are now helping our colleagues navigate the California wildfires. Donate today to support those in need.
MPTF provides support for thousands of entertainment industry workers and their families with a wide range of essential services. From financial assistance for those impacted by the recent fires to residential living, palliative care to health insurance navigation, case management to social calling, we are here for the workforce in times of needs. For over 100 years, MPTF has weathered the ups and downs of those who work in front of and behind the camera in film and television production, which is the heart of our mission of “Taking care of our own.”
