Inside Edition Anchor and Broadcasters Foundation of America Director Deborah Norville explains our mission in-depth.
Helping Broadcasters in
Times of Need
For over 60 years, the Broadcasters Foundation has reached out across the country to provide financial assistance to radio and television broadcasters who are in acute need because of illness, advanced age, death of a spouse, accident or other life-altering misfortune.
Through one-time and monthly grants, the Broadcasters Foundation serves as a safety net for broadcasters who have dedicated their lives to our industry.
The Broadcasters Foundation has distributed millions of dollars in aid to colleagues in acute need. These funds have been obtained through ongoing outreach for membership, individual and corporate contributions, and fundraising events. We have no accurate way of determining what the demand for assistance will be in the future, but we can be sure that the need will grow.
As more and more broadcasting baby-boomers head into their senior years -- and because of the fiscal reality of reduced pensions and benefits -- many corporations offer employees a slimmer safety net than at any time in the history of the workplace. The Broadcasters Foundation of America is here to help.
You can be part of our mission by becoming a member, contributing to our Guardian Fund or joining the Corporate Angel Initiative.
