Please consider donating whatever you can to support the Entertainment Community Fund. The ECF, formerly the Actor’s Fund, is an essential support network for any member of the industry who finds themselves in need of financial assistance. When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Hollywood, the ECF distributed over $26.8 million in emergency financial assistance to some 17,900 individuals. Today we’re asking for aid for anyone affected by work stoppage.

All money raised by Word by Word for the Entertainment Community Fund will go directly to those in need of assistance.
