Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles 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 have an accident or experience some form of life crisis, are unable to work and can't afford outstanding bills—and have exhausted all personal assets—Ad Relief is there. Their reason to exist is to lend a hand and help people get back on their feet again.

Since 1972, Ad Relief has granted more than $2 million dollars in emergency money to individuals in the Southern California advertising and promotions community. Confidential loans may also be arranged for qualified individuals who have been employed or consulted in the industry for at least one year, absent from the industry for no longer than one year. Priority is given to medical emergencies, but other emergency situations will also be considered. If you are aware of someone in the Southern California advertising and promotions community who is currently experiencing a need of this kind, suggest to them that they contact Ad Relief. They can email the Ad Relief office, or simply phone for assistance and a confidential reply.

Ad Relief has helped hundreds of people over the years, and none of them ever thought they would need it. Don’t be afraid, and try not to worry; your dignity and confidentiality are their utmost concern. They care about our colleagues in need and want to help.

All contributions to Ad Relief are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
