The Broadcasters Foundation of America is launching a year-end giving campaign to continue helping broadcast professionals during times of need.
“Our grantees are your colleagues,” said President of the Broadcasters Foundation Tim McCarthy. “They are hard-working men and women who through no fault of their own need our help. Requests for aid continue to increase every year. We cannot turn our backs on those in our industry who need our help.”
The Broadcasters Foundation of America will award nearly $2 million in monthly and one-time grants throughout the year. Monthly grants have increased by 70% over the past 5 years. During the last 20 years, the organization has provided more than $15 million to broadcasters in need.
“Disaster often strikes without notice and extreme circumstances can deplete a life’s savings quickly,” stated Chairman of the Broadcasters Foundation Board of Directors Scott Herman. “We need everyone in radio and TV to spread the word about the Foundation’s charitable mission across their station and company, in case they or someone they know needs our help.”
