Know any nonprofits that would like some free advertising? The Sun and Hutton Parker Foundation have partnered to create a media grant program to benefit Santa Barbara County nonprofits by providing newspaper ad inserts specific to the selected organizations.
Each grant recipient will receive a professionally produced four-page, center-spread insertātwo pages in full color, two pages in black and whiteādedicated to the nonprofitās mission and upcoming events.
Organizations can apply for the grant via the Hutton Parker Foundationās online application, which is accessible on the foundationās website, huttonfoundation.org. Applications will remain current through the end of the year in which they are received, and all applications will be reviewed quarterly with notifications made by foundation staff members. Once applicants are notified of approval, they will work directly with Sun staff to create their insert.
The grant is open to Santa Barbara County-based agencies only.
For more information about the media grant program, call Hutton Parker Foundation at 957-4740.
