Additional details

Hello!

The Forbes Funds is in need of quarter page, half page, and full page advertisements for when we sponsor events. The Forbes Funds is an intermediary organization; GPNP is a program within The Forbes Funds. A few notes:
- It would be convenient to have quarter page, half-page, full-page templates that we can fill in for different events "i.e. The Forbes Funds and GPNP are proud to support _____"
- It would be great to have templates for TFF and GPNP (individually) and together

What we have in place
  • We currently have Brand Guidelines and examples, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a great team, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,034 , allowing us to put more money back into communities.

These templates would save us time and streamline our efforts to support nonprofits.

Group volunteering guidelines

Working as a group on Catchafire
Group projects and calls on Catchafire are a great way for you to make an impact and build stronger relationships with your team members! If you are applying to this opportunity as a group, we recommend you have one designated team lead apply for the project on your group's behalf and act as the primary point of contact with the volunteer manager. When applying, be sure you already have a team organized so that you can start the project soon after matching.
Before applying as a group:
  • Have all group members identified and ready to volunteer
  • Pick one group member to act as a team lead and point of contact with the organization
  • Identify any tools you could use to effectively collaborate together (e.g. chat, email, whiteboarding tools)

Genine was super responsive and helped us to determine what types of advertisements we needed, and then created each of those templates for us. She kept us on track : )
