Marketing and PR help (maybe pro-bono)?

May 14, 2007 5:11 AM

Where can I find or find out about PR and marketing help for non-profits in the Washington, DC metro area?

I heard there are some PR and marketing firms that offer pro-bono PR and marketing advice to non-profits, but I am loath to find such resources outside of New York and Chicago. Specifically in the Washington, DC area (MD and VA included), where could I find such professional help?

well since it's not clear what exactly you're looking for in terms of pr/marketing advice (why aren't the ny/chicago places working out for you?), i'm gonna suggest using some web resources dedicated to non-profits.

a good start: groundspring.org

Well, it's just that we're based in the DC metro area (maryland) and I know a number of groups that help non-profits are geographically limited.

Foundation Center (foundationcenter.org) is a great resource. It's in DC (K Street NW, near Farragut North metro) and has a great library and very useful workshops. The staff is very helpful, and I'm sure can give you relevant, current info.
