LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 9, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Neotrope, a marketing, branding, entertainment publishing and technology firm founded in 1983, today announced the U.S. 501(c)(3) charities selected for its annual J.L. Simmons Nonprofit PR Grants program for 2018/19. With this year’s Grant, each charity will receive up to $2,400 in services including PR, marketing and social media promotion.

“For nearly 20 years, since we first launched this grant program, our goal has been to help worthy causes raise their visibility,” said Neotrope co-founder and CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons. “Again this year, we had hundreds of applicants, and we’ve chosen some really amazing charities to work with and donate our time and expertise.”

The J.L. Simmons Nonprofit PR Grant™ (aka “Non-Profit PR Grants”) program was originally launched in 2000 to help assist worthy causes to raise awareness, attract halo sponsors, and better connect with donors and volunteers. As part of this in-kind grant program, Neotrope is providing news dissemination through its Send2Press® Newswire service, and social media marketing for the selected applicant charities.

PR Grant recipients are selected by Neotrope staff based on qualified applications filled out and submitted by nonprofit organizations. Choices for grant recipients are both subjective, and based on overall activities and actual need, as well as best fit for support from the marketing team.
