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? How about a startup with a social purpose that is 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 its inaugural 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.
