Who We Help

As broadcasters, we report on breaking news, entertain our neighbors, and support our communities. But what happens when one of our own needs support? Who steps in to help when a broadcaster has a medical emergency with a long road to recover or a natural disaster hits and leaves behind unexpected damage?

Whether you're on the air, behind the boards, in the office, or on the sales desk, Broadcasters Foundation of America's sole mission is to help all our radio and television broadcasting colleagues in dire need. Here are a few stories of who we support.
