The Directors Guild Foundation (DGF) is a nonprofit charity that has assisted DGA members facing difficult times. Originally the DGA Education and Benevolent Foundation, the DGF was created in 1945. Independent from the Guild itself, the DGF respects personal anonymity to preserve the dignity of individuals in need of its assets. In addition to providing loans for Guild members in crisis, the DGF also funds Guild educational programs, supports the conservation and preservation of nearly 1,000 modern films thus far through the DGA-Motion Picture Industry Conservation Collection at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, and provides financial support toward the expansion of the Motion Picture & Television Fund's Country Home and Hospital retirement and assisted-living facility.
The current officers are:
- John Rich, Chairman of the Board
- Fred Rheinstein, First Vice Chairman
- Robert Butler, Second Vice Chairman
- Robert Ellis Miller, Secretary
- Gene Reynolds, Treasurer
- Jack Shea, Chairman Emeritus .
