MPTF offers temporary financial assistance to qualified industry members who have a demonstratable financial need due to unforeseen circumstances. This temporary assistance may help towards such basic living expenses as mortgage or rent payments, utility bills, car insurance premiums, car payments, and food.
In general, qualified is defined as seven qualifying years of entertainment industry employment, but because the definition of “qualifying” is not one-size-fits all, eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. You are encouraged to call MPTF to find out if you qualify and what programs you qualify for. MPTF works to ensure access to the broadest and most appropriate range of services within MPTF as well as local, state, and federal resources. All financial assistance services are provided in a non-judgmental and supportive environment with the goal of empowering you to better manage your financial well-being.
