The Broadcasters Foundation of America has launched its annual Year-End Giving Campaign, seeking to raise donations from tax-deductible personal contributions to the Guardian Fund and corporate contributions to the Angel Initiative. The Broadcasters Foundation is the only charity devoted to helping colleagues who are in dire need of monthly or emergency financial assistance due to life-altering illness or a disaster.

"We are devoted exclusively to providing aid to colleagues in broadcasting who are suffering from extreme illness, or hardship from a devastating disaster," stated Broadcasters Foundation President Tim McCarthy. "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. We're asking everyone in broadcasting to please consider including the Broadcasters Foundation in your 2024 charitable giving."

Over the past 20 years, the Broadcasters Foundation has distributed over $15 million in aid to colleagues nationwide, across all states and territories, who need it most.

"Requests for aid continue to grow exponentially as more of our peers and their families are affected by severe illness or disasters, such as the recent flurry of destructive hurricanes," explained Broadcasters Foundation Chairman Scott Herman. "Whether it's a monthly grant or one-time aid in response to an emergency, the Broadcasters Foundation is often a refuge and beacon of hope for colleagues whose lives have been upended by unforeseen and tragic circumstances. Please consider a donation. Donations go directly to helping our colleagues who are in desperate need."
