The Actors Fund has been awarded a grant for $35,000 from The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF) in partnership with Macy’s. The grant will be used for a part-time clinical social worker to provide supportive services for people living with HIV/AIDS at The Actors Fund’s Palm View Residence in West Hollywood. Opened in 1998, The Palm View is a 40-unit apartment complex that provides homes to low-income people with disabilities. The Palm View is a collaborative project between The Actors Fund and the West Hollywood Community Housing Corporation (WHCHC).
The Actors Fund is honored to be recognized for our unique work in the entertainment and performing arts community. “The work that The Actors Fund does to help people affected by HIV/AIDS is impressive, and very much aligned with Elizabeth Taylor’s passionate commitment to the cause,” said Joel Goldman, Managing Director of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. “ETAF and our partners at Macy’s are thrilled to present The Actors Fund with these funds to help further our shared mission.”
Through their Cause Marketing Program, Macy’s recognizes their responsibility to the community and their concern for the needs of their neighbors. They are proud to partner with ETAF and have contributed to this grant.
