Philanthropic organization Social Impact Fund celebrated its 10-year anniversary in Los Angeles on Tuesday night and, in typical charitable fashion, used the occasion to gift a $50,000 donation to the Entertainment Community Fund. Annette Bening, the new chair of the Ecf, was on hand to accept the grant and get frank about the need for financial assistance as both the writers and actors strikes rage on.
Noting that the Ecf (formerly known as the Actors Fund) has given out $4.8 million in grants for immediate needs to people in the industry since the WGA strike began in May, Bening told the crowd, “The situation is really serious out there for those of us in show business.

In the world of celebrity giving, the road to scandal is often paved with the best intentions. Consider the case of Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation, which built homes for Hurricane Katrina survivors, only to face a class-action lawsuit over major structural defects. Or Sean Penn’s Core, a disaster-relief nonprofit that has been lauded for its work around the world and has a positive rating on Charity Navigator, but which faced accusations of labor violations (one case was dismissed by a judge earlier this year while a class-action suit was settled this week) and allegations of financial mismanagement (which the organization denies). There is little reason to doubt the genuine goodwill of such stars, but just as fame can draw attention to a worthy cause, it can amplify the reputational hit when things go wrong and undermine the aims of their nonprofits.
