30 Days of Giving
A month-long celebration created to recognize and support nonprofit and charitable organizations serving communities across Nexstar’s nationwide footprint.
“30 Days of Giving” is an employee‑driven initiative created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nexstar’s founding in June 1996. Local Founder’s Day committees reviewed submissions from Nexstar’s 13,000 employees and selected charitable and nonprofit organizations to nominate for grants. More than 100 organizations were nominated, and the Nexstar Charitable Foundation’s Board of Directors chose 60 to receive $5,000 each.
Every day during the month of June, the Foundation will award a grant recipient and by the end of the month the Foundation will have committed $300,000 to “30 Days of Giving.”
