The Directors Guild Foundation (DGF) has a rich history of addressing the financial hardship of DGA members with compassion and discretion for more than seventy years.
“This has been another year of hardship for our members,” said DGF Chair Todd Holland. “With an industry in contraction, the toll on DGA families has been intense. We hear from members everyday how being out of work for so long has left their financial safety nets exhausted. In moments of need, we are proud that the Directors Guild Foundation is here to help DGA members. We stand ready to serve in difficult times with confidential interest free loans and more.”
In the face of challenge, we’ve developed new assistance programs and issued the most loans in our history to achieve the following:
- Since 2022, provided over $750,000 through our flagship Emergency Loan Fund program which has supported members with interest-free loans.
- More than $600,000 in contributions for emergency relief – including $250,000 for immediate grants for DGA members through the new DGA Emergency Relief Fund administered by the MPTF.
- Provided free flu shots to more than 400 DGA members and family at our annual Health Fairs on both coasts.
- Since 2023, sponsored over 1,000 members through a six-part financial training seminar for Freelance Employees providing concrete skills to measure and manage personal finances.
- And more....
We hope that you will join us in giving back to your DGA family in need. We are all grateful for your support.
