SAG-AFTRA Foundation:
We strongly encourage all SAG-AFTRA members to watch SAG-AFTRA Foundation President Courtney B. Vance's address about our forthcoming plans in light of COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, with hundreds of productions shut down, many SAG-AFTRA members will face even greater hardship than usual. As a result, the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, along the Motion Picture Players Welfare Fund, have created the COVID-19 Disaster Fund to aid SAG-AFTRA members impacted by COVID-19. The Actors Fund will be administering resources and services on the ground.
SAG-AFTRA members seeking help, and interested donors, should go directly to our website for more information:
While our in-person programming remains closed until further notice, SAG-AFTRA Foundation staff are working hard to create new ways to make our programs and services available for members at home. For forthcoming announcements and new content, please follow us at:
