Entertainment Community Fund

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support this year, and we invite you to watch this special message from our Board Chair, Annette Bening. Thanks to your generosity, thousands of people in the performing arts and entertainment community—from Atlanta to Las Vegas, Orlando to Dallas, Chicago to New Orleans, Los Angeles to New York and beyond—have found a lifeline in the Entertainment Community Fund when they needed it most. Your kindness has truly made a difference in their lives. From all of us at the Fund, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season! #happyholidays #seasonofgiving

On December 9, stars of Disney on Broadway performed at the Actors Fund Home.
