The Family Friendly Programming Forum is a coalition of over 40 advertisers, all of whom belong to the Association of National Advertisers. They seek to increase the amount of "family-friendly" programming on U.S. television.

They define family-friendly programming as:

it is relevant to today's TV viewer, has generational appeal, depicts real life and is appropriate in theme, content and language for a broad family audience. Family friendly programs also embody a responsible resolution. Family friendly programs may include movies, dramas, situation comedies and informational programs.[1]

The FFPF supports various programs and initiatives:

  • Script Development Fund
  • Student Scholarship Program
  • Annual Symposium
  • Annual Family Television Awards

The script-development fund has helped several programs reach the pilot stage — including Gilmore Girls.
