MAB Foundation Founders Club

The MAB Foundation Founders Club is a meaningful way to invest in the future of Michigan broadcasting while honoring individuals, stations, or organizations that have made an impact on our industry.

Founders Club gifts are permanently invested, with earnings restricted exclusively to support the Foundation’s annual scholarship program. Your contribution helps ensure long-term funding for students pursuing careers in broadcasting and media. Donors may build their recognition level over time through additional contributions.

Every contribution, at any level, is an investment in the future of our industry.

For more information or to discuss a giving option that aligns with your goals, please contact Rachel Krause at krause@michmab.com or 800-YOUR-MAB
