Broadcasters play a vital role in our society. They deliver news, entertainment, and critical information, keeping communities connected and informed. But what happens when broadcasters themselves face unforeseen crises? That’s where the Broadcasters Foundation of America steps in, providing a crucial safety net for industry professionals in times of need.

Consider the morning show personality on a Kentucky radio station, who was in the middle of evacuating from her own home in April 2025, while keeping the community together and informed as they navigated the waters of an historic flood together. 

“I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the grant you awarded me after the Kentucky flood that happened back in April. This has been one of the toughest experiences of my life. Receiving this grant is not only a financial boost but also a tremendous encouragement to continue pursuing my passion in broadcasting. Losing about 90% of my stuff put a financial strain on me, but with your generosity, I’m able to start the rebuilding process with less stress! “

When disaster strikes your fellow broadcasters, you often say “What can I do to help?”

You don’t need to wait for the disaster or tragedy to strike.

You can help by giving to the Broadcasters Foundation of America every year.  If every broadcaster gave $2.00 per week to the fund, think of the lifeline we could create together to benefit our colleagues and friends.

Donating to the Broadcasters Foundation is an investment in the well-being of the men and women who dedicate their careers to serving the public. When illness strikes, natural disasters hit, or personal tragedies unfold, broadcasters can find themselves facing financial hardship. The Foundation offers vital assistance, helping to cover essential living expenses, medical bills, and other critical needs during these challenging times.

Ultimately, supporting the Broadcasters Foundation of America means supporting the heart of the broadcasting industry.  Please consider giving monthly, annually or in your estate planning.  Call us today or visit www.broadcastersfoundation.org to get started.
