Please join us for a Lunch and Learn to gain knowledge about how the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and Entertainment Community Fund can assist you during the strike and beyond. Both organizations offer financial assistance and other support to SAG-AFTRA members. Learn how to navigate this process. Pizza will be served. 

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the most comprehensive, educational and state-of-the-art resources to SAG-AFTRA members. The Foundation knows there are ups and downs in the performing arts, and is here for SAG-AFTRA members, in good times and bad. Through their assistance programs, they work to ensure that no performer is alone when times get tough.

The Entertainment Community Fund fosters stability and resiliency, and provides a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals over their lifespan. Founded in 1882, the Entertainment Community Fund is a national human services organization here to meet the needs of our entertainment community with a unique understanding of the challenges involved in a life in the arts.

A limited number of SAG-AFTRA t-shirts will be available while supplies last for members with a current membership card.
