LeFrak Foundation Creative Entrepreneur Program, a new program consisting of courses and additional resources to provide those in the entertainment field a framework to launch entrepreneurial endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>Supported by The Francine A. LeFrak &#13;<br \/>\nFoundation, the program includes\u00a0assessments, immersive &#13;<br \/>\nworkshops, seminars, curated resources, and collaborative peer&#13;<br \/>\n networks. The aim is to empower participants\u00a0to develop the skills and &#13;<br \/>\nconfidence needed to sustain viable business &#13;<br \/>\nventures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entertainment industry is full of extraordinary talent, but it is also incredibly unpredictable,\u201d said Francine A. LeFrak, president of The Francine A. LeFrak Foundation, in a statement. \u201cI supported this &#13;<br \/>\nprogram because I want actors, performing artists, and production &#13;<br \/>\nprofessionals to recognize how deeply valuable their talent is. When the&#13;<br \/>\n spotlight dims, their creativity doesn\u2019t. They deserve a path to &#13;<br \/>\nsecurity, confidence, and community. This program isn\u2019t just about &#13;<br \/>\nteaching business skills, it\u2019s about unlocking entrepreneurial &#13;<br \/>\npotential. Talent is everywhere; opportunity isn\u2019t. My mission is to &#13;<br \/>\nclose that gap by equipping creatives with the tools to turn their &#13;<br \/>\ntalent into lasting opportunity and independence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The&#13;<br \/>\n Creative Entrepreneur Program hopes to\u00a0advance economic independence, &#13;<br \/>\nparticularly for women and individuals from underrepresented &#13;<br \/>\ncommunities. The initiative reflects the Foundation\u2019s\u00a0 commitment to fostering self-sufficiency and access to opportunity, &#13;<br \/>\nwhile empowering creatives to build lasting financial security.<\/p>\n<p>The first information sessions were held in July with the program beginning this month.<\/p>\n<p>The Francine&#13;<br \/>\n A. LeFrak Foundation\u2019s mission is to help change the lives of those who&#13;<br \/>\n need an opportunity to achieve success.\u00a0The&#13;<br \/>\n Entertainment Community Fund\u00a0is a national &#13;<br \/>\nhuman services organization that addresses the needs of people &#13;<br \/>\nwho work in performing arts and entertainment with services focused on &#13;<br \/>\nhealth and wellness, career and life, and housing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/entertainmentcommunity.org\/services-and-programs\/francine-lefrak-foundation-creative-entrepreneur-program\" data-linkindex=\"5\" title=\"https:\/\/entertainmentcommunity.org\/services-and-programs\/francine-lefrak-foundation-creative-entrepreneur-program\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n    !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n    {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n    fbq('init', '925349244281937');\n    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source playbill.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry News Entertainment Community Fund Launches Program Supporting Entrepreneurs The Francine A.
