Our Mission
Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles (formerly Advertising Industry Emergency Fund) is a volunteer organization made up of advertising and promotions people brought together to help their colleagues in times of life crisis. If you or an industry peer has an accident or experiences some form of life crisis, is unable to work and can’t afford outstanding bills—and have exhausted all personal assets — Ad Relief is there. Our reason to exist is to lend a hand and help people get back on their feet again.
Our events are a chance to raise money through ticket sales and to connect with other like-minded individuals and colleagues in the advertising and promotions industry.
In our early days as the Advertising Industry Emergency Fund, and today as Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles, our organization has helped many industry colleagues get back on their feet after a serious illness, the devastating loss of a home from fire or earthquake, or after a horrific accident. Our beneficiaries come to us in their lowest moments with their emergency needs; and those who’ve been the beneficiaries of our assistance say they don’t know what they would have done if Ad Relief hadn’t been there for them.
Since our inception, we’ve granted more than $2.3 million in emergency funds to individuals in the Greater Los Angeles advertising community.
Since 1972, Ad Relief has been there for those in need and, to this day, continues to lend a helping hand to ad peers in life crisis.
We’ve helped hundreds of LA area advertising professionals so far, and continued support from community members like you helps make sure we can be there for for hundreds more.
Our goal at Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles is to help our beneficiaries of the advertising and promotions community by any means necessary. This may include, but is not limited to, providing food, saving a home or covering medical costs. We are able to do this by carrying out a calendar of events that help us to raise the funds necessary to provide a helping hand to our community during a critical life crisis. Help us to help others find peace of mind!
Our events are a chance raise money through ticket sales and to connect with other like-minded individuals and colleagues in the advertising and promotions industry.
There are many opportunities to offer a helping hand by becoming a staff volunteer across any or our events or sharing a special skill you may have to help Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles find operational efficiencies.
Donations can be made online and go a long way to giving our beneficiaries relief during a very difficult time in their life.
