New Public Relations Grants on hold as of Feb. 12

 
The District Public Relations Committee had a tremendous response to the District Public Relations Grant program.  Fifteen clubs and one area have already submitted nearly $6,000 in grant requests.    As of Feb. 12, the District PR Committee is putting any new grant submissions on hold until we process the grant applications that have already been submitted.  We will let you know if we do accept more grant applications in the future.  Thanks to all clubs who have submitted grant applications.  We appreciate your work to publicize Rotary in your communities!
 
 
Grants for up to $400 were 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!
