MISSION STATEMENT

It is the mission of the NBC Augusta Community Service Department to provide positive change throughout the Augusta viewing area. We strive to improve the quality of community life by sharing socially relevant and life enriching Public Service Announcements.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Public Service Announcements (PSAs) inform the viewing audience about organizations doing good in our community. They also encourage attendance and participation in civic events. PSAs are for non-profit organizations and their aim is to promote the general welfare of the community. NBC Augusta receives many requests to air PSAs and has established guidelines to best serve the community.

QUALIFICATIONS

NBC Augusta is open to all 501 (c) (3) non-profit agencies which offer free services to our viewers. When deciding what organizations and events qualify for a PSA, we look for the following:

• The number of local people who will be affected by the organization's message
• The number of people who will take part in the event or benefit from services provided
• How soon an event will occur
• The relevancy of the message to the residents of the CSRA
