The recent wildfires across Southern California have left devastating impacts across communities, affecting countless individuals within our industry and beyond. At Entertainment Partners we are committed to taking an active role in supporting recovery efforts – not only for our employees, but also for the broader industry and local communities affected by these events.

We are inspired by the incredible efforts of individuals, studios and organizations across Hollywood who have come together and mobilized to provide critical relief, and we recognize the extraordinary resilience and strength demonstrated by our colleagues, friends, neighbors and first responders during this challenging time. We are proud to join this collective effort by addressing immediate needs and contributing to longer-term recovery initiatives.

Our support begins with our own team. To help them navigate the crisis, we have implemented a range of support programs focusing on health and wellness, financial aid and access to resources to help them navigate this crisis. In addition, for our employees directly impacted by the fires, we have established an internal donation center to collect essential items including food, clothing, diapers and household supplies. Surplus contributions are being donated to local community organizations to ensure they reach those in need. By addressing the immediate needs of our employees, we are reinforcing our broader commitment to both our team and the communities we serve, ensuring that our workforce remains equipped to support our clients with the same exceptional service that they have come to rely on.   

We are also proud to make a financial donation to the Motion Picture and Television Fund (MPTF) which is providing relief to entertainment workers displaced by the fires, financial assistance to those directly affected, and long-term recovery initiatives to support the industry as it rebuilds.

In addition, to further support recovery efforts, our parent company, TPG, is contributing to key organizations that are providing essential aid on the ground. These include donations to the American Red Cross, the California Community Foundation, and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.

"Our industry thrives on creativity and collaboration, and it’s in moments like these that we see the true spirit of our community,” said EP President and CEO Mark Goldstein. “We stand alongside our employees, clients and industry partners to support wildfire relief efforts and help those affected rebuild their lives.”

Recovery will take time, but we firmly believe that by working together we can support those most affected and lay the groundwork for a stronger future. To everyone contributing to wildfire relief efforts – thank you for your strength, generosity and compassion. Entertainment Partners will continue to be an active participant in these efforts, focused on supporting our employees, studio clients and the entertainment industry every step of the way.
