Make a Gift for the Future
 Dear ,
Do you remember when you first got into broadcasting? Remember the excitement and thrill of being part of an industry that makes a difference in their community? The broadcasting industry is strong and unique because we have a common goal of serving our local communities.
Who will fill your shoes when you move onto other jobs within the industry? Who will have the passion that you do for broadcasting? To keep this industry vital into the future, we need young professionals eager to enter the broadcasting industry, eager to serve.
One way you can help to assure that broadcasting remains strong for the future is by making a donation to the MAB Foundation. Your generous donation goes towards scholarships, educational programs and excellence awards. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a big difference in the lives of young broadcasters and may save you money on your taxes.
As broadcast professionals, it is our responsibility to make sure that opportunities received are plentiful for many. Please consider making a year-end contribution to the MAB Foundation today! Feel Free to contact the MAB Foundation office at
[email protected]
or via phone at 517-484-7444 with any questions or to see how you can participate.
Thank you for your support,
Paul Jacobs

Directly Impact a Student's Life Through a One-Time Scholarship
The MAB Foundation offers stations assistance in meeting EEO requirements...
With the growing concern surrounding the FCC's EEO Rules, the MAB Foundation has created an opportunity to assist MAB member stations in meeting these requirements. The following is a brief description of an exciting program that will give your station an easy and affordable avenue to gain possible Option A points and encourage the future of the broadcast work force at the same time.
How the MAB Foundation Station Scholarship Program works...
The MAB Foundation Station Scholarship Program is designed to allow individual member stations an opportunity to support one qualified college student interested in broadcasting as a career through an educational scholarship. The station will choose the scholarship winner among pre-qualified candidates. The MAB Foundation will act as the coordinator, matching participating stations with students from participating schools.
