BFA Responds to Coronavirus Pandemic with Emergency Grants

The Broadcasters Foundation of America’s Executive Committee of the Board of Directors held an emergency meeting recently to respond to broadcasters in financial need due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The criteria for emergency grant qualifications has been revised to provide aid to broadcasters who meet the requirements and have been infected.

“Never in our history as broadcasters have we experienced an event that has caused this much hardship,” stated Dan Mason, Chairman of the Broadcasters Foundation of America. “Thus, we have revised provisions to our emergency grant eligibility guidelines.”

For more information, broadcasters in need can email grants@thebfoa.org or visit www.broadcastersfoundation.org/coronavirus.

The Broadcasters Foundation has assisted thousands of broadcasters, past and present, all over the country, who have lost their livelihood through a catastrophic event, debilitating disease or unforeseen tragedy. Personal donations can be made to the Foundation’s Guardian Fund, corporate contributions are accepted through the Angel Initiative, and bequests can be made through the Foundation’s Legacy Society.
