Mission Mavericks: Fly Far With PR

A Pro-Bono PR Opportunity for Local Organizations with Acute Needs

Are you a nonprofit with an inspiring mission but just cannot break through the noise? Are you hitting a communications bump in the road? Then buckle up and get ready to fly far with PR!

The Central West Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (CWC-FPRA) invites you to apply to the Mission Mavericks program, a pro-bono opportunity to provide your organization with communications guidance and expertise, focused in areas of acute needs.

POTENTIAL PROJECT EXAMPLES

  • Pulling a list of local media contacts
  • Providing press release custom templates and best practices
  • Setting up an e-newsletter template and guidance for content development
  • Sharing best practices to garner media attention, build relationships, and evaluate results
  • Building out brand guidelines, including logo design
  • And more…

Regardless of scope, our goal is to help with a particular PR need or project, not taking the place, even temporarily, of actual professionals in your company.

  • Organization is based in or conducts significant business in one or several of the following counties: Sarasota, Manatee, or DeSoto.
