The Bald Faced Truth Foundation is a non-profit all-volunteer charitable organization that aims to promote joy and growth in youth through the support of arts, education and athletics. Today, the Bald Faced Truth Foundation offers grants in the areas of art, music, drama, athletics and other educationally enriching extra-curricular activities. The organization is a 501(c)3 non-profit registered with the IRS and is a 100-percent volunteer organization. Founders The Bald Faced Truth Foundation was co-founded by The Oregonian sports columnist and The Bald-Faced Truth radio host John Canzano and KATU-TV news television anchor-reporter Anna Song in 2009 after more than $100 million in state budget cuts in Oregon reduced extra-curricular activities and resulted in the cancellation of field trips, events and school functions. The organization pledged to join the community with its "Help Us. Help You." campaign.
