This year, "The Comedy Awards," has once again joined forces with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) to endow the American Comedy Fund, the first-ever charitable fund dedicated exclusively to supporting the comedy community. Without a union, guild, or other protection, many comedians face unique challenges to succeed and survive. The American Comedy Fund will be administered by EIF with The Actors Fund and Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) providing much-needed social services, emergency assistance, health care, insurance, housing, and employment and training services for those comedic performers who qualify during times of need, crisis or transition.
