The Broadcasters Foundation of America provides monthly grants to broadcasters who are unable to work due to an illness, accident, advanced age or other serious misfortune.

Aid for Natural Disasters
When natural disasters hit a community, broadcasters are some of the first on the scene, reporting live. But these events can also affect the lives of broadcasters, leaving some in dire financial need. In these situations, the Broadcasters Foundation of America provides one-time grants to broadcasters who need financial help recovering from disaster.
“I hesitated for five months to submit this application due to my feeling of unworthiness. My frugal existence is a complete 180 degree turn in my life – no car, no cable, limited mobility. Financial assistance at this time would improve the quality of my health… and allow me to take my grandkids to a movie or to the water park.”
-Veteran Radio DJ
