SHAPING A MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT
The HRTS Foundation is a new, standalone charity established in 2022 upon the 75th anniversary of The Hollywood Radio & Television Society (HRTS), the premier networking, education and mentorship association for the entertainment industry. Our mission is to provide resources, training, and education to members of our industry, including individuals from underrepresented backgrounds or perspectives. The Foundations’s first initiative was the launch of the HRTS Fellowship Program.
