Assistance is provided on a sliding scale for people who have worked a minimum of three years in the industry up to people who have worked an entire career in the industry. The PAF is funded by restricted donations from entertainment industry companies, foundations and individuals who work in the theatrical entertainment industry. People who have worked in theatrical entertainment for a minimum of three years are eligible to receive financial assistance and counseling due to accident, illness, natural disaster, financial hardship, and medical issues. PAF provided long-term type assistance to 13 clients due to quality-of-life issues. Short-term assistance was given to 1,586 clients primarily for housing insecurity, medical rehabilitation, medical related equipment, burial and cremation expenses, and natural disaster relief. The total number of people who contacted PAF and received a minimum of counseling help or resource referral was 2,138. 2024-2025 the U.S. saw numerous natural disasters including severe storms and tornado outbreaks, winter storms, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and drought-related events. The Pioneers Assistance Fund provided more than $215,000 in emergency grants to more than 1,000 film industry members impacted by natural disasters including hurricanes Beryl, Francine, Helene, and Milton.On January 7, 2025, fires broke out across Southern California in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The fires burned roughly 37,500 acres combined and destroyed more than 16,000 structures. The Pioneers Assistance Fund provided emergency assistance to nearly 100 individuals spending a total of $70,652 on industry members who either lost work due to the fires or who sustained damage to their homes.In 2024-25, the top three reasons for financial assistance are: 1. Rent and household financial hardship 2. Accident/Natural Disaster relief and 3. Medical treatments and care. The age range for long-term assistance recipients is 64 - 99, with many of those receiving assistance between the ages 71 90. The short-term client ages are from 16-89 years of age, with the majority receiving financial assistance in the 21-25 age group.Social workers continue to find a sizable number of people seeking financial assistance are employed, but live under a very tight budget, due to many factors. One accident, illness or unforeseen incident can create a household crisis. PAF clients reflect the greater circumstance affecting middle-class workers in the USA, most are barely keeping up with financial demands of day-to-day life. The Pioneers Assistance Fund continued the effort to educate industry members through increased presence on social media, frequent email newsletters, and the INNERMISSION program which provides short-form digestible videos (primarily made for the Instagram and YouTube social media platforms) on various topics aimed at maintaining overall health through video interviews with experts in fields of mental health and financial wellness. In 24-25 the INNERMISSION Program offered a series on Healthy Relationships as well as a series on the Importance of a Healthy Diet. Combined, the two series garnered more than 100,000 views on Instagram and another 16,500 views on YouTube. Due to the increased research findings on the importance of sleep, exercise, and meditation, all created content focuses on tips to achieving a healthy living lifestyle. Social workers are now screening for Depression, Suicidality, and a Needs Audit, which demonstrates to clients areas where their lives may need more attention.

A primary objective of the hospital was to conduct research for patient care and train pulmonary doctors on how to provide the best care for their patients. To date, the Will Rogers Institute has funded more than $50 million in research grants, training fellowships, and special projects in the pulmonary sector. What began as a training program for medical research during the 1950s and 60s at the Will Rogers Hospital in upstate New York, lives on in present day through the work of the Will Rogers Institute. Today, the Will Rogers Institute funds the Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center at Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California, and five fellowships across the United States. Directed by Edward Crandall, PhD, MD, the Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center at USC and its laboratory group have achieved major advances in research related to lung injury, pulmonary edema the abnormal buildup of fluid in the air spaces of the lungs and pulmonary fibrosis. In 2024-2025, the Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center produced two peer-reviewed research articles and five scientific abstracts. Overall, Dr. Crandall has published 173 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 375 research abstracts and 27 book chapters. Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center publications have been cited by other researchers worldwide over 7,000 times. The Will Rogers Institute funding has been instrumental in helping Dr. Crandall advance pulmonary research and train numerous fellows in pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. Training fellowships for pulmonary medicine continue at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital (White Plains, NY), New York University, University of Texas Medical School (Dallas, TX), Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital (Knoxville, TN), and Cedars-Sinai Hospital and Research Center (Los Angeles, CA). The objective for funding research fellowships in lung diseases at major universities throughout the United States is to help train future leaders of lung research and thoracic specialists. 148179 815 Will Rogers Institute - Health Education Another objective of the Will Rogers Institute is to educate the public on the prevention of cardio-pulmonary disorders, as well as, how to manage such disorders. The WRI has a rich history of producing and distributing public service announcements (PSAs) on an annual basis, for theatrical, web-based and television audiences. Print public service announcements, as well as digital PSAs are also part of that rich history. Since the 1950s, celebrities have donated their time and star power to help attract attention to the PSA and the importance of the topic. The Will Rogers Institutes web site continues to be visited by the public, generating thousands of hits per year and page views. While requests for printed booklets continue to decline due to the amount of free material on the internet, (including the WRI website which has downloadable booklets available), WRI continues to distribute free booklets on a monthly basis to members of the general public. Although there is a large amount of free information available on the internet, the free health booklets continue are requested from organizations such as community health centers, educators, and human resource departments. Perpetuating the Memory of Will Rogers The WRMPPF, as well as being a health charity, also has the primary mission of perpetuating the memory of the great humanitarian, Will Rogers. Efforts to perpetuate the memory of Will Rogers are in partnership with the Will Rogers Museum (Claremore, OK), the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation (Pacific Palisades, CA), as well as a partnership has developed with the Historic Saranac Lake (the historical society for Saranac Village, New York where the Will Rogers Hospital was located). Support for the museum is provided by utilizing their Will Rogers assets and content with the public, in addition to, making use of museum suppliers for interpretive Will Rogers memorabilia, which we give to donors as gifts and volunteer recognition awards, especially to individuals working in the entertainment industry. The WRMPPF collaborates with the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation by providing back office and administrative support. The Will Rogers Ranch Foundation is a small grassroots organization with no staff. WRMPPF also partners with the Ranch Foundation to support volunteer docent trainings and materials, as well as educational programs for park attendees. The Will Rogers State Historic Park suffered unimaginable loss during the Palisades fire on January 7th, 2025. Will Rogers historic 31-room ranch house (which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and the historic horse barn and stables, including the central rotunda stable building were entirely consumed by the fires. The historic guest house/visitor center and blacksmith/carpenter shop were damaged but not destroyed.The gatehouse, foremans cottage (park offices), and the 99-year-old polo field survived, though the announcers booth and goalposts at the polo field burned.The WRMPFF remains committed to providing support to the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation as it continues its mission to preserve the life and legacy of Will Rogers. 143406 128000 Brave Beginnings an initiative of the Will Rogers Institute In 2015, the Will Rogers Institute Neonatal Ventilator Equipment Program was officially renamed, Brave Beginnings (BB). Due to the large premature birth problem in the United States (the US has the sixth highest rate of premature births in the world, 10% of all births), hospitals have a tremendous need for additional equipment and modern equipment that will give a premature infant a fighting chance at a life without disease or a permanent disorder. Due to the evolving landscape of the movie theater industry, funding sources for the Brave Beginnings program (traditionally, the majority of fundraising for the Brave Beginnings program comes from in-theater campaigns including concession programs and donation canisters) still have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. That said, the program was in a position to fund a grant cycle of $128,000 to four deserving institutions. Since the ventilator grant program was established in 2006, more than 200 hospitals have received grants, totaling nearly $10 million dollars, and an estimated 350,000 infants have benefitted. The overall objectives of the Brave Beginnings program to educate the public about the need and long-term benefits to helping premature infants develop without lifelong ailments, as well as provide hospital NICUs with vital equipment. Along with other individuals and organizations dedicated to fighting the preemie epidemic, the Brave Beginnings program will try to help eliminate a generation of children growing up with ailments and disorders, due to a premature birth. 143406 128000 2330015 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false false true true false false false false false false false true true false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 7 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 29 29 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT FL GA IL KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X X CHRISTINA M BLUMER 3236882500 2233 N ONTARIO ST STE 300 BURBANK CA 91504 CHRISTINA BLUMER EXEC DIRECTOR 50.00 0.00 X 186832 0 20208 TIMINEY J MAYHEW CONTROLLER 40.00 0.00 102076 0 23495 JEFFREY GREENSPUN Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS BUCKLEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICH DAUGHTRIDGE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER MORGAN Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT KENNEDY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRETT FELLMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS JOHNSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE MADDALENA Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KEITH FOENANDER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATT KALAVSKY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RON KRUEGER II Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOE GAREL Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVE GARRETT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HANK GREEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN GALLAGHER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT WESTERLING Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF WILK Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LISA BUNNELL President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TODD R VRADENBURG Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRANK MARTINEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE POLYDOROS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MELANIE VALERA Exec Vice Pres 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANK TEES Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN WILSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN BUCK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN FLANAGAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JUSTIN McDANIEL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RYAN WOOD Sr Vice Pres 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL SERWITZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 288908 43703 2 false true false 0 140652 1337352 593493 32600 2071497 0 207406 207406 0 0 0 5582873 158022 5129911 1896 452962 156126 609088 384 608704 223910 1304752 719453 -495543 -495543 27300 2349 24951 24951 0 0 2417399 384 345518 488815 488815 998798 998798 0 0 186968 93484 46742 46742 0 360609 255964 69772 34873 22273 13401 5219 3653 100962 68085 19810 13067 40718 25985 8664 6069 0 0 71025 71025 0 0 89041 58119 7378 23544 0 0 8340 3245 3757 1338 42713 25965 16748 0 41800 22094 13436 6270 14204 5291 445 8468 0 0 0 0 3378 2031 673 674 29321 15652 7398 6271 PUBLIC ACCESS SERVICES 108692 108692 HEALTH ED - PSA / PR 91574 81324 10250 OUTSIDE SERVICES 64386 30436 16983 16967 MERCHANT CHARGES 43305 43305 127751 32634 28427 66690 2934673 2330015 316477 288181 177153 268231 979216 1785929 0 208 0 0 0 0 15774 13509 3979 4031 98127 85518 15142 12609 9585811 7898924 1056614 848350 0 0 8231 0 11842128 10831583 131833 134792 290447 161000 422280 295792 X 7770474 6382069 3649374 4153722 11419848 10535791 11842128 10831583 -517274 -366783 X false true X true false X 2450723 793845 1928659 1855028 2071497 9099752 0 0 0 0 2450723 793845 1928659 1855028 2071497 9099752 0 0 9099752 268954 208492 182417 230970 207406 1098239 0 268954 208492 182417 230970 207406 1098239 14333 8467 22800 0 2734010 1002337 2111076 2085998 2287370 10220791 0.89030 0.88690 0.10750 0.11190 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3649373 2168225 1126798 537078 4153722 3017071 1760367 635418 492647 3649373 2103521 2051052 643389 494113 3017071 2889586 479721 562201 703585 2103521 5355460 2226216 4007171 684919 2889586 1.00000 false false false 1 1 36151 25898 10253 61975 59620 2355 12609 848350 X 2690377 -366783 7000 721802 362019 2328358 89041 89041 2417399 3574434 7000 721802 728802 2845632 89041 89041 2934673 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
