The Broadcasters Foundation of America Endowment Fund was established in 1998 by a resolution of the Broadcasters’ Foundation of America Board of Directors. The fund’s exclusive purpose is to ensure that financial assistance be available in perpetuity to fellow broadcasters who, through no fault of their own, are in acute personal financial need. The endowment is used exclusively to support the benevolent outreach of the Broadcasters’ Foundation of America. To qualify for help, an individual must go through a detailed application process which includes a financial statement, income tax returns, reference checks, and a physician’s medical statement, when appropriate. Monthly grants vary in size depending on individual circumstances. All grants are approved and renewed annually by the Broadcasters Foundation of America Executive Committee. Grant recipients remain anonymous so as to preserve their dignity. |
