Neotrope Extends Deadline for 2013 JL Simmons Non-Profit PR Grants for Worthy Causes
 TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 15, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Neotrope CEO Christopher L. Simmons announced a two week extension to today's deadline for worthy causes to apply for the company's annual Non-Profit PR Grants for 2013; the new deadline will be Feb. 28 at close of business."Due to the November elections and then 'superstorm' Sandy, we got a late start in promoting the grants this year," said Simmons, a member of ASCAP and the PRSA, and a working public relations pro since 1981. "In fact, some folks only learned about this year's program last week, due to the time delay in newsletters and other media reporting on the program this year. We've gotten more applications this week than the entire month of January." For 2013, Ten U.S. based charitable non-profits will receive in-kind grants totaling $50,000, including public relations, news dissemination and online marketing services, as part of the company's 30th anniversary. The "Non-Profit PR Grants" program was originally launched in 2000 to help assist U.S. 501(c)3 worthy causes to raise awareness, attract halo sponsors, and better connect with donors and volunteers. Starting this year, the Grant has been named after the company co-founder, the late Dr. J.L. Simmons, PhD, who passed away in 2003, ten years ago. Henceforth the Neotrope PR Grants will be known as the "J.L. Simmons Non-Profit PR Grant" in his memory. Each 2013 PR Grant recipient chosen from qualified applicants will receive free news distribution through Send2Press(R) Newswire, as well as free run-of-site advertising across the Neotrope News Network for 12 months (through March 2014); the combined value of in-kind services is approximately $4,500+ per recipient. Neotrope has been honored to help many worthy causes, including Camp Blue Skies, Children Awaiting Parents, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, Girls Write Now, Move for Hunger, Pacific Pinball Museum, The Bob Moog Foundation, Starlight Children's Foundation, and dozens more. More information about the grants, and a simple online application, can be found at: http://prgrants.com/ . There is no entry fee, no reciprocal branding requirements or any other "shenanigans" often found with less altruistic programs.
