The annual year-end giving campaign hosted by the Broadcasters Foundation of America kicks off this week.
The fund provides financial assistance to individuals in broadcasting whose lives have been impacted by illness, accident or catastrophe. In 2022, the foundation will award nearly $2 million in monthly and one-time emergency grants. Since 2017, those monthly grants have increased 70% with more than 600 emergency grants awarded.
“Our grantees are your colleagues,” said Tim McCarthy, president of the Broadcasters Foundation. “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.”
Over the past 20 years, the Broadcasters Foundation has distributed more than $15 million to broadcasters in need.
