MediaCast offers PR grants for charities and NFPs
PR company MediaCast has created a new initiative – ‘Pro Bono for Purpose’ grants – that can provide charities and not-for-profit organisations with the funding they need to (fully or partially) execute media relations campaigns.
The announcement:
A new initiative launches today, providing not-for-profit organisations and charities the opportunity to harness the power of public relations and drive significant and sustainable change.
MediaCast’s ‘Pro Bono for Purpose’ grants are tailored towards NFPs and charities across Australia, giving them the chance to receive a $5,000 or $10,000 grant for media relations. The grants are designed to give organisations the opportunity to build momentum through media relations and amplify their message across radio, tv, print and digital outlets.
Fran Chalmers, managing director of MediaCast, expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “At MediaCast, we have a long history of working alongside some truly incredible charities and we know the impact that a great PR campaign can deliver. With our ‘Pro Bono for Purpose’ grants, we want to give NFPs that might not have a budget for PR the opportunity to experience that impact firsthand and raise awareness for their cause.”
Cavill Stone, director of clients, people & culture at MediaCast, highlighted the importance of teamwork in selecting the deserving recipients and encouraging everyone to get involved in the new initiative.
“At MediaCast, we pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. We’re excited to involve our team members in the selection process, ensuring that the chosen organisations align with our collective values and commitment to driving positive change,” Cavill says.
To qualify for the MediaCast ‘Pro Bono for Purpose’ grant, organisations must meet specific criteria, including having clear objectives to create a positive impact through a media relations campaign. Grant applications close on the 30th November, and applicants must be registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and based in Australia.
The grant can be used to cover the full value or part value of a media relations campaign. The successful grant applicants will be notified on the 8th December 2023, and MediaCast are encouraging all eligible organisations to apply!
