República, one of America’s cross-cultural advertising, communications and digital agencies, is now accepting submissions for the third annual edition of Repúblicares, the agency’s corporate social responsibility initiative, created to award pro bono services to a nonprofit organization within the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
República is accepting submissions at www.republicares.net from any IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization interested in the possibility of being selected by the agency’s employees to receive services beginning in 2015. Applicants should provide answers to several questions, including mission statement, scope of marketing and communication needs, and why they are most deserving of this opportunity. All submissions must be completed by 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, September 2, 2014. The recipient will be announced in November.
Last year, Triumph Crisis Recovery Center (TCRC), a South Florida-based organization supporting victims of domestic violence, was selected from the more than 30 submissions received. In 2012, Strong Women, Strong Girls, a Boston-based nonprofit dedicated to raising the aspirations of elementary-school girls, college women, and young professionals, was selected as the inaugural recipient.
“Giving back has been inherent in our culture since day one,” said Luis Casamayor, president & COO of República. “Repúblicares is a terrific way of bringing together our growing República family as each employee has a voice in selecting the recipient,” added Casamayor.
Since its inception, República has provided pro bono services to numerous local and national nonprofits and community initiatives, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The WOW Center, City Year, the International Hispanic Theatre Festival/Teatro Avante, Miami Dade College Foundation, and Amigos For Kids.
