We help raise awareness and funds for important causes such as childhood hunger, cancer research, creative arts, education, cardiovascular research, and much more.
The Entertainment Industry Foundation responds to some of the most critical needs facing our society. We help raise awareness and funds for important causes such as childhood hunger, cancer research, creative arts, education, cardiovascular research, and much more. We are fortunate to have wide-spread support of our industry`s executive leadership, entertainment industry members and celebrated actors who play a vital role in leveraging the power of the entertainment industry to advance our charitable causes.
Thanks to the talent and compassion of so many entertainment industry members who donate money and volunteer time on our behalf, we continue to broaden our reach to help more people. Annually, the Entertainment Industry Foundation funds more than 300 charitable organizations within the greater Los Angeles area and throughout the nation. Funding to the charitable organizations is made possible with support of so many through: Giving through EIF`s Annual Industry Fundraising Campaign remains an important tradition within the entertainment industry. In addition to monetary support, so many entertainment employees donate their time by becoming EIF volunteers, helping to improve our community. We rely on the entertainment industry, corporate and foundation sponsors, and individual donors, to bring national attention to important social issues. Working together, we are raising money to fast-track science and fund educational programs of excellence.
