Walsh/Di Tolla/Spivak Foundation Catastrophic Relief
Funds from the Walsh/Di Tolla/Spivak Foundation can help pay for food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities for IATSE members affected by natural disasters.
In the past, the IATSE has disbursed funds to support members affected by wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Individual IATSE members and retirees needing assistance apply through their local union chapters.
- Must be an IATSE member or retiree.
- Must be affected by a natural disaster.
Download the Walsh/Di Tolla/Spivak Foundation Catastrophic Relief Application, complete it, and submit it to your IATSE local union. The local union forwards requests to the Foundation trustees for review.
Find your local union’s contact information, then submit your completed Catastrophic Relief Application to that local for forwarding to the Walsh/Di Tolla/Spivak Foundation.
Canadian IATSE members who need disaster assistance can email International Vice President Damian Petti for help with the process.
