Greg Berlanti Starts $500K Strike Relief Fund For Support Staff Of His Company’s Shows, Makes Additional Donations Amid Work Stoppage
The Entertainment Community Fund had distributed more than $6.5M to over 3,100 film and television workers, as of September 8. The SAG-AFTRA Foundation, meanwhile, has thus far doled out $2.5M in financial assistance. Spielberg and Capshaw are just the latest to make major donations to the Entertainment Community Fund, on the heels of A-list creatives like Seth MacFarlane.

The Writers Guild is currently on Day 133 of its strike, and the actors have today hit Day 60. While SAG-AFTRA has not as of yet reconvened with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to come to terms on its new contract, the WGA most recently met with the AMPTP in an official capacity on August 22.
