rbb Public Relations is opening its doors to South Florida’s nonprofit community with the launch of an annual grant program providing 12 months of pro bono public relations’ services. This year, the firm has chosen the theme of social services. rbb, one of Florida’s leading pr firms, is now seeking applicants from local and/or regional nonprofit social service organizations looking to enhance their marketing outreach.
Each year, one new organization will be selected to join rbb’s roster
of nationally recognized clients including Starbucks Coffee Company,
The Ritz Carlton Club and Cleveland Clinic. The selected organization
will receive 30 hours of pro bono services per month, equating to an
annual $66,000 value. Deadline for submission is Tuesday, November 13,
2007. All entries must be submitted electronically through the firm’s
website, www.rbbpr.com. Final determination will be made by December 17, 2007 with work to commence in January 2008.
“We know there are many deserving organizations in South Florida that
could benefit from more exposure for their causes but that don’t have
the resources to engage a public relations firm,” said Christine
Barney, rbb CEO and managing partner. “While rbb has traditionally
supported nonprofits with pro bono services, this grant will allow us
to help a variety of organizations on an ongoing basis, and we are
eager to lend the firm’s resources.”
Questions about the submission or selection process will be answered by email at alisha.marks@rbbpr.com. Please write “nonprofit submission query” in the subject line.
