For the Media - Facts, Research, and More on Fatherhood Absence

Public Service Advertising Campaign

From 1997 to 2006, National Fatherhood Initiative ran one of the most successful public service advertising (PSA) campaigns in the country. Working in conjunction with the Ad Council, NFI produced television, radio, print, Internet, and outdoor ads that generated over $500 million in donated media and measurable changes in American attitudes towards fatherhood.

Over the years, NFI's PSA campaign engaged the likes of James Earl Jones, Tim McGraw, Tom Selleck, and Ossie Davis to carry the message to our nation that fathers play a unique and irreplaceable role in their children's lives.

NFI's PSAs are no longer available for broadcast use, but we have provided an archive here on our website so you can view the ads and use them for educational purposes.

"Because of your resources, more fathers are trying to be better fathers by spending family time together, showing affection to their children and they realize that a father’s job is never done."
