Who: Actors Fund
Why are they special? Not everyone in entertainment makes the big bucks. For 129 years, Actors Fund has been providing "comprehensive social services, health services, supportive and affordable housing, employment and training services, and skilled nursing and assisted living care".
This can get very practical. There is a shoe fund (started in 1945) to help actors look properly shod at auditions. They assist with funerals and burials for those in need.
Where: New York City
Started: 1882
What the top person makes: $275,482 (2009)
