The Herb Alpert Foundation has donated $250,000 to the Entertainment Community Fund to aid idled film and TV industry workers during the ongoing Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
A matching donation by an anonymous donor brings the total gift to $500,000. “When artists are in need, it is important for society to offer support,” said Alpert, co-founder of A&M Records. “The reason is simple: Our society is poorer when artists aren’t able to share their work with us.
My hope is that our matching grant to the Entertainment Community Fund will keep inspiring others to support our artists in need.” Rona Sebastian, president of the Herb Alpert Foundation, added, “The Herb Alpert Foundation is thrilled to provide essential funding to support the talented writers, actors and dedicated industry professionals during this challenging work stoppage period.
Our support is a testament to our belief in the power of words and the profound impact of storytelling to challenge perspectives, spark conversations and inspire a brighter future. “It is our hope that this challenge grant will motivate others to support the creative voices in our community.
