Nexstar Media Foundation Announces Honorees for Day Twenty-Three of “30 Days of Giving” Initiative
The Arc of Greater New Orleans and Our Lady’s Inn Named as Recipients of $5,000 Grants
Irving, TX (June 23, 2026) – Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation is making a $5,000 contribution to both The Arc of Greater New Orleans and Our Lady’s Inn as part of the company’s “30 Days of Giving” initiative, a month-long program recognizing and supporting 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. Locally-led 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 two $5,000 grants; by the end of the month the Foundation will have committed $300,000 to “30 Days of Giving.”
The Foundation today recognized The Arc of Greater New Orleans and Our Lady’s Inn as recipients of $5,000 grants. The organizations were nominated by employees at WGNO/WNOL-TV, the Nexstar television stations serving New Orleans, LA, and KTVI/KPLR-TV in St. Louis, MO, respectively.
The Arc of Greater New Orleans is dedicated to advancing the independence and well-being of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and autism.
The organization currently serves more than 500 children and adults across Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, and St. Tammany parishes, offering residential support, community integration, and employment services such as job coaching and job placement. The Arc’s early intervention services support parents of infants and children from birth to age three.
“The Arc of Greater New Orleans provides vital resources and advocacy for adults and children with intellectual disabilities, and we are proud to contribute to their mission,” said John Cruse, Vice President and General Manager of WGNO/WNOL-TV in New Orleans, LA. “We hope this donation helps them continue their important work and dedication to these individuals. Arc’s efforts are inspiring, and we are honored to play a small role in helping expand opportunities, dignity, and independence for those they serve.”
