Update on Public Relations Grants

 
As of Jan. 29, the District Public Relations Committee has received requests for $5,308 of the $6,000 available for Public Relations Grant funds for 2015-16. Some are pending approval until sample designs are submitted. The PR grants were developed to help clubs improve public awareness and understanding of what Rotary does within their local communities.  Grants for up to $400 are available until April 1, 2016, or until funds are depleted, whichever comes first. Click here for PR Grant guidelines and an application form.
 
Is there a public relations project that your club would like to pursue but need more funding to make it happen?  District 5950 is ready to assist with its new 2015-16 Public Relations Grant.
 
Apply for matching grants of up to $400 to help your club improve its visibility in your community. Potential public relations projects could include:
  • Revamped websites
  • Social media campaigns
  • Club brochures
  • Print ads
  • Billboards
  • Signage
  • Or something else – creativity is encouraged!
A key requirement of the District 5950 PR Grant is that clubs must use the new Rotary logo in their projects.  Logos are available for download at Rotary’s website: https://brandcenter.rotary.org/en-GB (use your Rotary.org username and password to access.)
 
District 5950 has set aside $6,000 for these matching PR grants. Grants are available until April 1, 2016, or until funds are depleted, whichever comes first. See the attached document for District 5950 PR Grant guidelines and an application form. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.
 
We hope you take advantage of this exciting new opportunity to promote your club!
