“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. Now more than ever, it is crucial to stand together and uplift those whose creative contributions shape our world. Together, we can ensure that industry professionals, including those in the Los Angeles community, have the resources they need during this pivotal time.”

Since May 1, the day before writers went on strike, the Entertainment Community Fund – formerly known as the Actors Fund – has raised over $9.1 million from more than 10,500 donors to support struggling film and television workers. As of September 8, the Fund has distributed more than $6.5 Million to more than 3,100 film and television workers.
