Dear John,

I was so moved to see the outpouring of support from everyone on Giving Tuesday!

To continue the good news, I am excited to announce that the Jean & Albert Nerken Foundation and The Tow Foundation have generously offered to match your gift up to $100,000!

That means your tax-deductible gift will do 3X the good. However, this opportunity is only available through December 31—so please make your year-end contribution now!

Sustaining a career in the performing arts has never been easy, and the industry has still not fully recovered from the pandemic, historic work stoppages and California wildfires. Entertainment professionals are facing difficulties paying rent, buying groceries and even affording health insurance.

Urgent requests for help from dancers, camera operators, makeup artists, screenwriters and so many others keep pouring in—and the slew of recent funding cuts only makes this situation more critical.

But amidst these obstacles, your dedication has brought essential comfort, security and stability to thousands of people when they need it most. Without your support, the Fund wouldn’t be able to provide them with a vital safety net.

We expect to receive even more requests for help in 2026, and we need your continued commitment to meet them. Please take advantage of this opportunity now to TRIPLE your impact!

John, thank you so much for your generosity and commitment to the Entertainment Community Fund!

Joe Benincasa (he, him, his)
