About the IRTS Foundation
The International Radio & Television Society Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It evolved from an organization founded in 1939 that established a charitable arm in 1964 that grew into the IRTS as it exists today.
Long recognized as the International Radio and Television Society Foundation, we were founded as a common forum for all aspects of electronic media. In today’s world that includes all digital distribution of content, advertising, and more.
As you see from our logo, we now leverage the historical strength of our call letters, drop the dated longhand, and put the focus on our mission: BUILDING FUTURE MEDIA LEADERS.
We have had a rich history of providing education and dialogue about important communication issues for more than seven decades! Back in the early days, IRTS was one of the few places you would find professionals from all sectors of business in a common forum where competitive barriers were dropped in favor of a common cause. Today, that common forum is more important than ever.
Our Mission: Building Future Leaders
The ultimate goal of the IRTS Foundation is to bring together the wisdom of yesterday’s founders, the power of today’s leaders, and the promise of tomorrow’s young professionals.
Thank you to our generous donors!
