'There aren't enough words to express our tremendous gratitude to Seth as he continues to help those in need, all while inspiring others with this call to action to do the same,' said ECF's Annette Bening.
The prolific creator, who donated $1 million to ECF in July for their efforts in supporting industry professionals amid Hollywood’s dual strikes, has committed another $5 million. As part of the gift, ECF and MacFarlane have teamed to launch a $10 million initiative in the hopes of attracting more donors during the work stoppage that has left thousands unemployed.
ECF, previously known as the Actors Fund, spreads support beyond actors to offer programs and services, financial and otherwise, to those who work in the entertainment industry. As of Sept. 19, the fund has distributed more than $7.4 million to more than 3,515 film and TV workers including writing assistants, production assistants, key grips, gaffers, lighting and sound designers, script supervisors, people working in craft services, hair and make-up professionals, wardrobe insiders and others.
