The Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) will hold its annual Giving Day on Thursday, raising funds to support radio and television professionals facing severe financial hardship caused by debilitating illness, natural disasters, and other life-altering circumstances.

The organization, which provides financial assistance exclusively to members of the broadcasting community, has distributed more than $20 million in aid over the past 15 years. The support has benefited employees from more than 200 broadcast companies across 45 states and U.S. territories.

BFOA said the grants have helped broadcasters navigate some of the most difficult periods of their lives, providing a financial safety net when unexpected tragedies strike.

The annual Giving Day campaign encourages broadcasters, companies, and industry supporters to unite in support of colleagues in need. Funds raised help ensure the Foundation can continue providing emergency assistance to radio and television professionals facing significant personal and financial challenges.

The Broadcasters Foundation is the only charitable organization dedicated exclusively to helping broadcast professionals in acute need. Through its emergency grant program, the organization assists recipients with essential living expenses during periods of crisis.

BFOA is encouraging members of the broadcasting industry to participate in Giving Day, noting that contributions of any size can make a meaningful difference in the lives of fellow broadcasters and their families.
