Supporting Non-Profits and Charities

As long-time members of the PR community, RFP Associates supports the pro bono activities that many agencies perform throughout the year. As PR practitioners ourselves we have volunteered many hours, too, for good causes.

 

In 2011 we embarked on our own pro bono project to help a worthwhile organization search for and identify a public relations firm that will provide its own services pro bono to them for a predetermined length of time.

 

Our successful launch of Pro Bono for Pro Bono will lead to similar efforts in 2012.
