District authorizes PR grants to clubs

Posted by PDG Diann Kirby, District 5950 PI Chair

District 5950 has allocated Public Relations Grant funds for 2015-16 to help clubs improve public awareness and understanding of what Rotary does within their local communities. Increasing awareness of Rotary within a community attracts the interest of potential members and inspires existing Rotarians. A club may apply for a PR grant of up to $400.

Clubs applying for a District 5950 PR Grant must submit an application that includes the following elements:

Detailed description of the PR project
Detailed explanation or visual illustration of the proposed PR materials
Description of how the new RI logo will be used in the project
Estimates of intended audience and number of people reached by proposed PR project
Project price quote(s)
PR Grant amount requested and amount of direct club contribution
Club president’s signature on the application.

The PR Grant Application form with complete criteria will soon be available on the District 5950 website.
