The JL Simmons Nonprofit PR Grants program was launched in 2000 to help promote worthy causes with a grant of in-kind donation of services. It was created by the late Dr. JL Simmons, PhD and Christopher Simmons.
“We’ve been proud to help support charities the past 20 years,” said Neotrope CEO Christopher Laird Simmons. “My dad and I started this grant to help worthy causes get the word out when we could mobilize our news and pr engines in lieu of writing small checks.”
He adds, “Utilizing PR and social marketing, the goal is to help nonprofits raise awareness and visibility, and perhaps attract a valuable ‘halo’ sponsor.”
The deadline for applications is Jan. 31, 2025.
