Granta Claus: The Broadcasters Foundation of America launched its annual year-end Giving Campaign today (11/19), encouraging tax-deductible personal donations to the Guardian Fund and corporate contributions to the Angel Initiative. This year, the Foundation will award more than $1.7 million in monthly and one-time emergency grants, both of which have increased significantly (see chart). "Our grant recipients are hard-working broadcasters from across the country, who have been hit by challenging, often life-altering circumstances," says Chairman Scott Herman. "Together, we can help them get through the toughest times.” Donate here.
