American Comedy Fund and The Comedy Awards

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.
