BFoA Adjusts Grant Guidelines and Application Process
In the wake of the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene and the impending Hurricane Milton, the Broadcasters Foundation of America is taking immediate steps to make sure every broadcaster who qualifies for emergency aid receives it quickly. BFoA president Tim McCarthy states, “We’ve temporarily adjusted our
already streamlined Emergency Grant Guidelines and Application Process to make it even easier and faster to get funds into the hands of broadcasters hit hardest by these storms. The situation is catastrophic for many of our colleagues and with insufficient or total lack of internet service, an individual or families cannot even submit an application.” Under the adjusted guidelines, broadcasters who have suffered catastrophic loss contact their market or general manager, who then fills out the Hurricanes Helene and Milton Group Submission Form for all of those within their station who are applying.
