The mission of the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation is to perpetuate the memory of Will Rogers through the work of its three programs: The Pioneers Assistance Fund, The WIll Rogers Institute and Brave Beginnings.
The Pioneers Assistance Fund provides financial aid and supportive counseling to individuals who work in theatrical exhibition, distribution and vendors exclusive to either sector, who have experienced an illness, accident, injury, death or life-altering circumstance. A team of social workers confidentially assesses the needs and financial difficulties of motion picture industry members and provides aid to support health and well-being when income and assets are limited. The program currently has six types of assistance to help those in need.
Originally a hospital for tuberculosis-stricken Vaudevillians, The Will Rogers Memorial Hospital (established in 1936) became a national training facility for doctors treating patients with tuberculosis and the Will Rogers Institute was created. Today, the Will Rogers Institute promotes and funds medical research of cardiopulmonary diseases and by educating the general public on topics of pulmonary health.
Brave Beginnings provides grants to hospitals across the United States to purchase vital equipment for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Brave Beginnings works to ensure neonatal equipment is always available to newborns in critical need. Together, we can help preemies survive and thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you link your card and set your monthly giving level, every transaction will automatically "round up" to the next dollar amount, donating that "spare change" to the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation. For example, if you buy a coffee for $2.43 on your linked debit card or credit card, we'll add .57 cents to your purchase and add it to your monthly total.
Nope! That’s the great thing about rounding up: our system will automatically round up all of your purchases on your connected cards when you swipe until you’ve reached your giving target for the month.
You can easily update your Round-Up subscription by logging into your account by using the "Welcome to Your Donor Dashboard" email you received when you first signed up or through the "Round-Up" button found on our website.

In order to round up your spare change, we simply need to know when you’ve swiped your card. The Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation does not use your personal data or information for any purposes other than verifying your transactions to accurately record the spare change you choose to give. WRMPPF does not have access or the ability to view any of your transaction data.
The security of your information is of the highest concern. The system uses bank-grade security to handle all sensitive financial data. Online banking credentials are never stored on the system. All data is secured with SSL encryption and multi-factor authentication to ensure unwanted access is prevented.
