Community Involvement

• • Founder’s Day of Caring: Nexstar’s Founder’s Day of Caring occurs each year in June. Staff members across the company receive paid time off for volunteer work in their communities. The choice of which organizations to support is made at the local level, and covers a wide range of charities and social service agencies. In 2024, over 5,000 employees across the company volunteered more than 17,500 hours of service at more than 240 charitable organizations.
  • Remarkable Women: Nexstar’s “Remarkable Women” initiative celebrates local women who inspire, lead, and pave the way for other women to succeed. Each year’s winner is selected from a pool of nominees from across each of Nexstar’s 116 markets. The winner is announced during a special program airing on NewsNation during International Women’s Month and awarded $25,000 to contribute to the charitable organizations of her choice.
  • Project Roadblock: Each year, Nexstar and all of its television stations participate in “Project Roadblock,” a national multiplatform program aimed at preventing drunk driving. Sponsored by the Television Advertising Bureau, The NTHSA, and The Ad Council, every Nexstar TV station donates air-time and news coverage to this important issue.
  • Red Cross: Our TV stations partner with the Red Cross during times of crisis to assist victims affected by natural disasters in the communities we serve. In 2024, Nexstar’s TV stations helped raise almost $600,000 for the Red Cross.
  • Nexstar Charitable Foundation: The Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation awards approximately $350,000+ in grants each year to charitable and non-profit organizations serving the communities in which we operate.

Nexstar and its partner stations work with local community groups to increase awareness, raise money and otherwise assist these local groups with their missions. Stations run promotions and air content related to the initiative and station employees participate in local events. Nexstar was actively involved in more than 2,000 community outreach initiatives across our more than 200 owned or partner stations.

Nexstar partners with a significant number of community groups, including local charities, food banks, hospitals, and community-specific groups/events, as well as the local chapters of national organizations including:
