Children's Advocacy Center of Kent County and Dragonfly House Children's Advocacy Center Named as Recipients of $5,000 Grants
Irving, TX (June 22, 2026) - Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation is making a $5,000 contribution to both the Children's Advocacy Center of Kent County and the Dragonfly House Children's Advocacy Center as part of the company's "30 Days of Giving" initiative, a month-long program recognizing and supporting nonprofit and charitable organizations serving communities across Nexstar's nationwide footprint.
"30 Days of Giving" is an employee-driven initiative created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nexstar's founding in June 1996. Locally-led committees reviewed submissions from Nexstar's 13,000 employees and selected charitable and nonprofit organizations to nominate for grants. More than 100 organizations were nominated, and the Nexstar Charitable Foundation's Board of Directors chose 60 to receive $5,000 each. Every day during the month of June, the Foundation will award two $5,000 grants; by the end of the month the Foundation will have committed $300,000 to "30 Days of Giving."
The Foundation today recognized the Children's Advocacy Center of Kent County and the Dragonfly House Children's Advocacy Center as recipients of $5,000 grants. The organizations were nominated by employees at WOOD/WOTV/WXSP-TV, the Nexstar television stations serving Grand Rapids, MI, and WGHP-TV in Greensboro, NC, respectively.
The Children's Advocacy Center of Kent County serves suspected victims of child sexual abuse. The Center minimizes trauma and provides a safe space for children to access comprehensive services including therapy, court education and courthouse/courtroom tours, and obtain non-invasive medical exams. Programs are offered at no cost to families.
It partners with 10 law enforcement agencies, Children's Protective Services, the Kent County Prosecutor's Office, and the YWCA to deliver coordinated care.
The Center also advances prevention through its professional development and training opportunities, and school-based programming, equipping children and adults with the knowledge to recognize, report, and help prevent abuse.
"We are touched by the mission and work of the Children's Assessment Center Kent County Chapter," said Marci Daniels, Vice President and General Manager of WOOD/WOTV/WXSP-TV in Grand Rapids, MI. "They provide trauma-informed support for children who are victims of sexual assault, while seeking justice on their behalf. We are honored to be able to help support this valuable mission."
