The Broadcasters Foundation of America has launched its Year-End Giving Campaign.
The mission of the BFA to improve the quality of life for people in the radio and television broadcast profession who find themselves in acute financial need due to life-changing illness. It is a 501c3 charity and over 20 years it has distributed $15 million.
Its year-end campaign aims to raise donations from tax-deductible personal contributions to its Guardian Fund and corporate contributions to the Angel Initiative.
“We are devoted exclusively to providing aid to colleagues in broadcasting who are suffering from extreme illness, or hardship from a devastating disaster,” stated Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation. “We also take care of colleagues who have retired. Grants are supported solely by contributions from individuals and companies within our industry and offer a ‘hand-up’ to our colleagues during trying times.”
