I'm thrilled to announce the 2010 inaugural Rebecca Badger Marketing Communications Grant recipient (drum roll, please) ... OSU KidSpirit! The discovery phase has already begun! Check back soon for updates on my initiation into the KidSpirit family.

The Rebecca Badger Marketing Communications Grant is awarded to one non-profit each year. The work depends on the organization's needs, but can include development of a marketing communications plan, implementation of part or all of the plan depending on time needed to execute, event marketing, publicity, and ongoing marketing consultation throughout our year together. This grant program is inspired by this one offered by one of my favorite design firms out of Chicago, but it is communications (not design) focused.

If you're a nonprofit and this seems like something that you would be interested in applying for, sign up to receive emails from Rebecca Badger Marketing and be the first to know when applications are being accepted for 2011.
