The Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation has awarded $5,000 grants to Urban Baby Beginnings and Sleep in Heavenly Peace-Savannah as part of its “30 Days of Giving” initiative.
The initiative focuses on supporting nonprofit organizations, community service, maternal and child health, family wellbeing, child welfare, safe sleep, local giving and employee-led charitable engagement.
The grants were announced on day fourteen of Nexstar Media Group’s month-long “30 Days of Giving” campaign, which was launched to mark the company’s 30th anniversary. The initiative recognizes nonprofit and charitable organizations serving communities across Nexstar’s nationwide footprint.
As part of the campaign, locally led committees reviewed nominations submitted by Nexstar’s 13,000 employees. More than 100 organizations were nominated, and the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation selected 60 organizations to receive $5,000 each.
During June, the Foundation is awarding two $5,000 grants every day. By the end of the month, the initiative will provide a total of $300,000 in charitable contributions.
Urban Baby Beginnings was nominated by employees at WRIC-TV in Richmond, Virginia. The organization works to ensure that women of childbearing age have access to high-quality, compassionate and culturally relevant maternal care.
Through hubs in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Petersburg and Roanoke, as well as a telehealth platform, Urban Baby Beginnings connects families with hospitals, providers and community-based organizations. Its services support families during the prenatal, postpartum and early childhood stages.
The organization helps families access essential resources, reduce stress and isolation, improve breastfeeding and postpartum recovery outcomes, and support newborn health through education and care coordination.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace-Savannah was nominated by employees at WSAV-TV in Savannah, Georgia. The organization builds and delivers handmade, fully furnished beds to children in need.
The Savannah chapter serves families in Savannah and parts of Garden City within Chatham County, where thousands of children are estimated to sleep on the floor each night. As of May 2026, the chapter had delivered 113 beds during the year, each including bedding, a pillow and a twin mattress.
Nexstar said the “30 Days of Giving” initiative reflects the company’s commitment to supporting local communities through nonprofit partnerships and employee-driven giving.
The Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation works with public charities and nonprofit organizations to improve the communities where Nexstar Media and its subsidiaries operate.
