Is your nonprofit looking to spread the news about a fundraiser? Or is your group seeking new members or leaders but don’t know how to get the word out?
Last year, Citizens for a Better Granby (publisher of the Drummer) received a generous grant from the Granby Community Fund (GCF) in order to help other Granby nonprofits raise their visibility within the community. The CBG Board uses the grant funds to finance advertising for nonprofit organizations that are based in Granby and operate with a small budget. Qualifying as a 501(c)(3) is not required.
In order to stretch the grant dollars and help as many organizations as possible, the ads are black and white. CBG encourages organizations to develop their own ads, which should be submitted as PDFs, but will also provide assistance in developing an ad.
To apply, please visit granbydrummer.com/grant-funded-advertising/ and complete the online form. The application process runs quickly, but submissions should be made in advance of the advertising deadline for each issue. Both ad and copy deadlines can be viewed online at granbydrummer.com/deadlines/
The GCF grant has sufficient funds remaining to consider repeat ads, so if your organization received a free ad through this program last year, you are invited to apply again.
