“Philanthropy is part of the Golden Globes tradition and history since its founding, and our program has grown to support cultural, educational, artistic and humanitarian organizations,” Earl Gibson III said previously in a statement. “Our community has always taken pride in devoting its resources to supporting the broadest range of programs with the most impact especially aimed at underserved communities. We are exceptionally proud of this year’s grantees and the impact they are making.”

The event was broken up by two performances: The first entertainment pause featured a funny story from The Moth (which also received grant funding from the Golden Globes Foundation) alum Matty Struski, whose first-person narrative about his relationship with his 10-year-old daughter living with Cerebral Palsy not only touched the room, but left them bursting with laughter. Everybody Dance LA closed the night with a special performance from their class of students, which prompted guests to deliver a standing ovation for the young group of dancers.
