Mission
Statement:
Artists
Give Back is a community of creative entertainment industry
professionals who provide their unique talents and resources
to charitable organizations in need of support. While engaging
in volunteer work with one another, Artists Give Back creates
social and professional networking opportunities for artists.
How We Do It:
During the Hollywood writers strike
of 2008, some of us realized we could be doing something useful
with our time and skills when we werent walking the picket
line. It turned out that not only are a lot of people and groups
in need of help, but many writers, musicians, actors, and performers
need help finding the right match for their talents and interests.
Most people
dont have the time to do a lot of research to find where
they can plug in. Thats where we come in.
Artists
Give Back offers a map for Writers, Actors, and Musicians to
meet talented people in their field who want to get involved
and make an impact in their community. We bridge the gap between
non-profit organizations in need of volunteers and services
from writers, actors, and musicians and our members who endeavor
to give back locally and globally.
Essentially, our community of artists use their unique talents
in ways that
bring a childs imagination to life
provide
a family with their first book
put a smile on the face
of someone undergoing chemotherapy
challenge a stereotype...teach
an at-risk young adult healthy ways to express themselves
Our Partners
Artists Give Back works with not-for-profit
organizations in need of access to talented actors, writers,
and musicians. We serve as a system of support that helps to
enable these groups fulfill their charitable mission.
Our primary focus is to identify and reach out to organizations
who need access to written and/or performed talent. We support
them by promoting their causes amongst our community, hosting
events in their honor, and advocating for their causes.
Our family of organizations allow for a contagious burst of
connection and action. There purpose is to serve as a hub, to
provide a network and resources linking artists with other organizations
working to make a difference in their communities. We connect
artists with groups to increase visibility, imagination, effectiveness
and participation. A dating service, if you will, connecting
artists and civic groups and projects
