The Directors Guild Foundation is working with the Motion Picture Television Fund to administer financial assistance to DGA members impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

The fund — which will offer $2,000 grants to those in need of help with emergency relocation costs and/or help replacing personal property — has been established via a $250,000 donation from the foundation.

Additionally, the Directors Guild of America has authorized another $100,000 to cover member needs. “I am inspired by the strength and resolve of the DGA community to help one another at a time of immense need,” Directors Guild Foundation chair Todd Holland said in a statement Tuesday. “This fund will provide critical resources directly to impacted DGA members as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives.

Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this tragedy.” Anyone who is able to donate to the fund is encouraged to do so. Those in need of assistance can apply for a grant by calling (323) 634-3888 or emailing info@mptf.org.
