First Nations Development Institute Receives $2 Million in Airtime
The First Nations Development Institute has announced a gift of airtime valued at $2 million from the Comcast Foundation.
Two 30-second PSAs designed to highlight First Nation's efforts to address critical issues in Native American communities will air on Comcast's Xfinity cable TV system in thirty markets across the United States during June and July. In 2013, Comcast Corporation and its foundation donated more than $1.5 million in PSA airtime to First Nations.
"This generous gift of airtime will go a very long way toward building awareness of the critical economic development and asset-building needs of struggling Native American communities, and how First Nations plays a key behind-the-scenes role in that," said FNDI president Michael E. Roberts. "We are deeply grateful to Comcast for continuing its significant support of our efforts."
