Broadcasters Foundation Launches Year-End Appeal

Year-End Appeal

The BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA is launching its annual year-end appeal TODAY (12/3), "Giving TUESDAY." The organization, which helps broadcasters in need, is looking for donations to its Guardian Fund and corporate contributions to the Angel Initiative. The FOUNDATION will award more than $1.3 million in aid this year, with monthly grants increasing over 75% since 2015; more than 500 emergency grants have been awarded since 2017. In 19 years, the FOUNDATION has distributed over $11 million to broadcasters in need.

“These funds make a huge difference in the lives of broadcasters and their families,” said Chairman DAN MASON. “Our grant recipients are hard-working broadcasters who have experienced unthinkable tragedy and desperately need and deserve our support.”

“Requests for assistance have escalated at an alarming rate over the past several years,” added President JIM THOMPSON. “At this giving time of year, we ask every broadcaster to give thanks for their success and good fortune with a tax-deductible contribution that will help us continue our mission of providing aid to those in our business who need it most.”
