Foundation

On Dec. 26, 2004 -- the day after Christmas -- a tremendous underwater earthquake off the coast of Indonesia sent tsunamis, or tidal waves, radiating out into the Indian Ocean, sending more than 250,000 people to their death. Waves of 40 feet and more wiped out whole villages. Families were obliterated. And so many children perished.

Two days later, Royal Media Group dedicated itself to doing what it could to secure international relief aid not just for this tragedy, but for disasters to come. With this call, we formed the Royal Media Foundation, and its goal is to be a force for global good.

The Royal Media Foundation has dedicated itself to concentrating its donations on international relief organizations, and its giving is tied tightly to Royal Media Group. In so many ways, Royal Media Group is honored that multitudes of wonderful industry professionals dedicate themselves to speaking at the conferences we produce. Therefore, the Royal Media Foundation makes donation to international relief charities in the name of each member of our event Speaker Faculties. In this partnership with our Speaker Faculties, we can all do much good.

The organizations to which donations are made provide international relief services without regard to race, creed or religion. Here's a list of some organizations we support:

  • International Committee of the Red Cross
  • Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere, Inc. (CARE)
  • International Rescue Committee, Inc.
  • Doctors Without Borders USA Inc.
  • American Jewish World Service Inc.
  • American National Red Cross
Yes, it is wonderful that members of our Speaker Faculties care enough about their industries to share their knowledge, ideas and wisdom with their colleagues. But Speaker Faculty members can take great pride in the charitable element of their efforts, as well. We hope only that the Royal Media Foundation makes a difference not just in the immediate wake of the 2004 Asian earthquake disaster, but in the years hence.
