The Broadcasters Foundation of America has begun its Year-End Giving Campaign in an effort to raise funds to provide financial aid to broadcasters in need. The annual campaign seeks personal tax-deductible donations to the Guardian Fund. Corporate donations can be made to the Angel Initiative, which is also tax deductible.
“Life can change in a heartbeat, and exorbitant medical bills can leave one of our colleagues in broadcasting in desperate need of assistance,” Scott Herman, Chairman of the Broadcasters Foundation said in a release. “I’m asking everyone in radio and television to consider a donation, in any amount, so that we can continue to provide assistance to those in our industry who need it most.”
Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation added, “The Broadcasters Foundation is often the last hope for our peers suffering from severe illness or recovering from disaster. To date, we have never turned away a broadcaster who qualified for aid. Donations, in any amount, can ensure that the Broadcasters Foundation continues that track record.”
This year the Broadcasters Foundation provided approximately $1.8 million in aid. Over the past 20 years, the organization has distributed more than $15 million in aid.
