Many years ago, the great actress Rosalind Cash had to go to the Screen Actors Guild emergency fund to get help to pay her rent. Angela heard the story and was surprised at how long it took to get those emergency funds.John Witherspoon was known for paying his rent six months in advance while struggling to make it as a comic and an actor. This way, I will always have a roof over my head. I cant eat chicken wings, but I have somewhere to lay my head. This Fund is for true emergencies, not to finish your tv pilot or to help complete your script. Today many artists are one job away from living in their cars.Angela controls the fund directly, and if she hears of an emergency, she can write the check. Small gifts have been given to actors and musicians, and comics over the years. The average gift is $2,000. Some gifts are $500. It can make a big difference to a young actor, artist, writer, or comic trying to make it to the next opportunity. Many young talents were simply forced to move back home during the pandemic. No administration fees are charged to the Foundation, only the preparation of the taxes each year, which is deducted; this is to maintain our 501(c) status.To read more or to make a tax deductable donation, visit: , visit: https://www.witherspoonfamilyfoundation.org
