TEMECULA, Calif. /California Newswire/ — Neotrope®, a 40 year old marketing and entertainment company, announced today that it is now accepting applications from U.S. based 501(c)(3) charities “doing good” for its JL Simmons Nonprofit PR Grants program. For 2023 ten worthy causes will each receive $3,000 of in-kind donations for PR and marketing support via Send2Press® Newswire, for a total program value this year of $30,000. Neotrope is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2023.
The JL Simmons Nonprofit PR Grants program was launched in 2000 to help promote worthy causes with a grant of in-kind donation of services. It was created by the late Dr. JL Simmons, PhD and Christopher Simmons.
“We are excited to finally bring this program back for 2023, after taking a couple of years off due to the pandemic and other events,” said Neotrope CEO Christopher Laird Simmons. “My dad and I started this grant to try to help worthy causes get the word out. This year it’s of special meaning to me, as it is also the 20th anniversary of my dad’s passing; and he is sorely missed.”
The deadline for applications is April 1, 2023, the 20th anniversary of Dr. Simmons’ passing.
