Joseph P. Benincasa President & CEO
Dear Friends,
Thanks to your generous support, The Actors Fund continues to provide support for the evolving needs of our performing arts and entertainment community. Last year we helped almost 14,000 industry professionals in a variety of ways:
•2,083 individuals received health insurance counseling and 1,073 were enrolled in health insurance plans.
•478 people made their homes in one of our affordable and supportive residences.
• 7,703 entertainment professionals in need or crisis benefited from our wide array of social services and our caring team distributed $1.8 million in emergency financial assistance.
•2,395 un- or underemployed members of our community benefited from The Career Center’s career management services.
More recently, The Samuel J. Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts made its debut in Times Square in March 2017. In partnership with The Actors Fund and Mount Sinai Doctors, The Health Center is the medical care provider for New York City’s entertainment community.
As the need for our services continues to grow, so do our programs and services. Last year, The Actors Fund helped 1,880 senior and retired industry professionals throughout the nation. Our case workers helped our community to deal with crisis situations, provided case management to help them live independently in their homes and organized health and wellness activities to keep them engaged in their community. In addition, the renovation and expansion of our Lillian Booth Actors Home continues apace and the first new wing will open in fall of 2017. Once complete, the project is expected to help 7,500 seniors in the next 20 years.
In Los Angeles, our services continue to expand in exciting ways. Last year we announced the Hollywood Arts Collective, a new housing development in partnership with Thomas Safran and Associates. This new multi-use development in Downtown Hollywood will feature 100 affordable housing units, space for nonprofit arts organizations and a theater.
In 2016, The Actors Fund helped 13,926 people in 46 states nationally.
Our programs and services offer social and health services, employment and training programs, emergency financial assistance, affordable housing and more.
86 CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR directly supports our programs and services.
Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator, has awarded us their highest rating.

After the devastation of being diagnosed HIV+, Javier Muñoz, here starring in Hamilton on Broadway, received help in finding a doctor, securing affordable health insurance, as well as assistance with payment for medications and tests.
The City of Los Angeles awarded this site to us in 2016 and development is projected to begin in 2018. And, we stepped up activity in Chicago, presenting more outreach which resulted in a 60 percent increase in clients served by our Central Region office.
None of this important work would be possible without the leadership of our Board and the amazing efforts of our staff and volunteers. The generous support of thousands of donors like you is the backbone of The Actors Fund and strengthens our mission to help everyone in performing arts and entertainment.
Special thanks to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, our longtime partner in assuring that our services are there for everyone who needs our help. We are grateful for BC/EFA’s steadfast support, especially in these uncertain times when our services may be needed more than ever.
Your support makes a difference in the lives of thousands who bring life to our stages and screens across the country. Thank you for being an integral part of the family that helps our performing arts and entertainment community. To learn more about our services or to make a donation visit us today at actorsfund.org.

*Financial assistance is provided for critical needs such as preventing eviction, covering health insurance premiums and electric, gas, telephone or other essential living expenses.
We meet a critical need. Creative work is often sporadic, carries fewer benefits, provides no traditional career ladder, and takes people far from home and support networks.
