Giving back is part of our Philosophy

In 2024, we announced The PRomise Foundation Annual Grant.

Through this grant we want to offer an amount of 2,02,400/- (as we are in 2024) to four community initiatives. The way it will work is as follows: Any group leader may apply before October 1st for a one-time grant of Rs 67,500/- (includes GST). We have three such grants available. The amount may be used creatively for a community initiative in terms of bringing professionals together.

It can be a breakfast catch up or a meeting over high tea where participants sign up by paying a nominal amount ranging from Rs 500/- to Rs 1000/- and the remaining amount is paid for by the grant. The event should have at least 24 attendees in addition to the core team of organisers. As grantees we will place the Comms News logo in the event branding and also get one access pass to the event as observers. The event will need to take place between January 2025 – April 2025.

So, if you run a community initiative offline or online and wonder how to fund an in-person gathering of fellow professionals, here is your chance to make it happen. The jury that decides the Grant winner will comprise The PRomise Foundation team. The parameters for judging will be uniqueness and creativity to promote the event, the focus area of the event, research done in terms of venue and costs. Weightage will be given to the group whose leader is ideally at PRAXIS 2024 but that is not a necessary condition. 

If you have it in you and are raring to go, then this is the opportunity that you must embrace. Send your submission as a one-page as a pdf to team@reputationtoday.in by 1 pm on October 1st with “The Promise Foundation Grant Application” in the subject line. The leader and up to two more members of the three winning grants will be felicitated at QUORUM in Mumbai during World Public Relations Week on November 27th.
