Wildfire Relief
Aid and resources for those impacted by the Southern California fires
Our hearts are with everyone whose homes have been destroyed and lives turned upside down by the Southern California fires. MPTF is working to help those in our entertainment community, working and retired, where aid is needed.
For assistance and financial support, please call us at 323-634-3888
MPTF is currently providing services including financial assistance, providing supportive counseling, and assistance navigating insurance needs. Our social services team is already reaching out to our high-risk community in fire-impacted areas and receiving calls from working and retired industry members with needs including medical supplies and food. Our team can help navigate the county, state, and federal resources available to victims of the fire as well as Red Cross and others.
If you’re feeling challenged or overwhelmed by the numerous requirements and options, we are here to help. Thousands of our entertainment family have been displaced or challenged by this unprecedented tragedy, and you don’t have to deal with it alone.
On Tuesday, January 21, we held a special virtual webinar, Wildfire Relief: Next Steps and Next Next Steps, featuring guest speakers who gave guidance on how to navigate insurance claims, property taxes, tax payments, and many other topics. Amanda Riddle, Esq. (alr@coreylaw.com), Stacy Monahan Tucker, Esq. (smtucker@mtlawpc.com), Michael Karlin, CPA, and Cesar Reinoso, Esq. (cesar@apataxlaw.com) were among the speakers on a panel moderated by MPTF’s Sharon Siefert, VP Legal Affairs, with topics that included “Insurance Claim Tips & Getting Access to Insurance Benefits,” “Policy Holder Rights and Negotiating with Insurers,” “Financial Planning & Tax Considerations,” “Property Tax Relief,” and “Accessing Industry Related Support.” A video of the full webinar will be available here very shortly.
If you would like to support these efforts, please consider donating (as “Unrestricted Annual Fund”) where your dollars will help those needing vital assistance.
