The Motion Picture & Television Fund announced a $30-million contribution Tuesday from entertainment executive Barry Diller, the largest gift to date in the charity’s $350-million endowment campaign, The Hollywood Reporter and The Wall Street Journal write.
Mr. Diller, the chairman of IAC/InterActiveCorp., made the donation through the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation, which he runs with his partner, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.
The fund, which provides health and social services to retired show-business workers, launched the campaign in February in large part to support its Los Angeles-area nursing home, which it at one time planned to close.
“[It] seems impossible to me to have had success in the entertainment industry and not strongly support” the fund, Mr. Diller said.
