How it works
The Wisecast Multimedia Company ("WMC") is committed to supporting worthy causes
and plans to donate more than $1 million dollars annually in air time and
technology to non-profits and
academic institutions, including K-12 schools, colleges and universities.
In 2011, WMC pledged $300,000 for the next 5 years in a Master Broadcasting
License Agreement to HSFA, an IRS Certified public 501c3 organization, which now
controls 3 Wisecast Television channels, including NPO Spotlight Channel 104.
HSFA is charged with ensuring non-profits and academic institutions have free
and unrestricted access to broadcast air time on Wisecast Television and expand
their reach.
NPO Spotlight is a 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, commercial free broadcast
channel. Although HSFA controls the NPO Channel, WMC is committed to
marketing and advertising the channel as if it were our own to make sure the
more than 1 million non-profits in America and millions more around the world
will have their voice heard.
Sponsorships
Traditional commercial advertising is not permitted on NPO Spotlight; however,
NPO Spotlight is permitted to recognize the support of various donors and
sponsors (in accordance with the "PBS" model). Program sponsorship is
accepted and encouraged. HSFA actively seeks sponsorship and grant
opportunities. Corporations, individuals and grant making foundations or
institutions interested in sponsoring the NPO Spotlight Channel and its
programming should contact HSFA by calling 1-877-859-6850 or emailing
