BFOA Scores High in Charity Ratings
The Broadcasters Foundation of America announces that it has received the highest scores from two independent organizations that track commitment to accountability and impact for 501(c)(3) charities: a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, a 100% Give With Confidence Score from Charity Navigator, and a Four-Star Rating, also from Charity Navigator. BFOA board chair Scott Herman says, “Our board of directors is comprised of a team of broadcast industry
executives who are dedicated to ensuring full transparency and maximum effectiveness from the Broadcasters Foundation. Our goal is to help every broadcaster who qualifies for aid, and we must always have the funds to do so.” BFOA president Tim McCarthy adds, “Our donors have often commented on the fact that they see the money going where it belongs – to the hard-working individuals in our business who are suffering from debilitating illness or disaster and simply need a hand-up during a trying time. These top-tier ratings are a further affirmation of our ongoing commitment to providing aid to broadcast radio and television professionals in critical need – whether behind the mic, in front of the camera, or at a desk.”
