Thank you for Supporting a Life in the Arts

We could not do this important work in our community without you. Your generosity makes it possible for us to continue helping so many people, especially during another challenging year.

Because of you, we have been able to provide essential services to thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the entire country. To date, our programs have reached over 22,445 individuals in nearly every state, both in person and online through our new client portal.

Whether it’s supporting actors, dancers, musicians, designers or stagehands in theater, or assisting screenwriters, directors and production assistants in film and television, for over 142 years, the Fund has been a lifeline for those who work in performing arts and entertainment. Each year, we offer programs and services to tens of thousands in the industry, many of whom work tirelessly behind the scenes.

A life in the arts is deeply rewarding, yet often unpredictable. Your incredible support ensures that thousands of individuals and families can weather challenging times. Beyond emergency financial assistance for basic needs, the Fund offers health insurance counseling, affordable housing resources, financial wellness support, career guidance and much more—resources that are especially critical in unprecedented times.

The Actors Fund Home continues to provide top-rated care, including skilled nursing, memory care, subacute care and assisted living, and we remain an accredited Comfort Matters Provider. 

The Career Center helps arts workers navigate their careers, find new opportunities and build community while learning strategies for success in today’s evolving job market.

And when our clients face challenges with health insurance, we help thousands navigate their options and hundreds enroll in health insurance coverage.

All of these programs and many more were made possible through your generosity. Together, we are helping ensure that those who contribute so much to our country’s cultural vibrancy are supported, valued and economically secure.
