The community grants help address a range of community issues, including mental health support, vaccine and health screening access, cultural preservation and the importance of growing local foods.
Tegna’s NBCS affiliate KUSA Denver and the Tegna Foundation, the company’s charitable foundation, have awarded seven Denver-area nonprofit organizations community grants totaling $35,000.
The Tegna Foundation Community Grants program addresses the diverse local community needs in communities served by Tegna . Most grants awarded fall into one of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Categories: Good Health and Well-Being, Quality Education and Zero Hunger. Other goals supported include Decent Work and Economic Growth, Reduced Inequality, No Poverty, Life Below Water and Life on Land.
Community Grants are vetted by a committee of employees at each station, including the station general manager, and approved by the Tegna Foundation board of directors. Stations also amplify the impact of the Tegna Foundation’s charitable contributions through reporting and employee volunteerism.

“Serving the greater good of our community is our mission and it is wonderful to work for an organization that shares and believes in that mission,” says Mark Cornetta, KUSA’s GM. “Providing financial support is just one small way we can help organizations to make a difference.”
