Values: We recognize the contributions of each individual, and promote trust and mutual respect.

We collaborate and share information, skills and knowledge with each other and our community.

We encourage and celebrate curiosity, creativity and innovation.

We embrace diversity and seek equity, inclusion and dignity for all.

We hold ourselves and each other accountable for the integrity of our services, to being good stewards and maintaining the trust of our clients and supporters.

Welcome to the Entertainment Community Fund. We provide human services nationally for people who work in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance. We’re here for everyone on stage, camera and behind the scenes to support a life in the arts.

Since our founding in 1882, we’ve helped address the specific needs of entertainment professionals—with a unique understanding of the challenges involved with a life in the arts, and with the knowledge of what it takes to thrive in an often unpredictable industry.

We invite you to explore our health and wellness, career and life, and housing services—all designed to ensure stability, encourage resiliency and be a safety net for those who shape our country’s cultural vibrancy.
