USE OF FUNDS Describe in general how the grant funds will be used. Include estimated costs if known. (Note: Grants may be used to fund a portion of a project and are not limited to activities that can be funded in full. Worthwhile projects costing less than the anticipated grant amount will also receive full consideration, but will be funded at the project cost.)

PUBLIC RELATIONS PROFESSIONAL Provide the name(s) of the PRSA-LA member volunteer who will oversee your PR initiatives. Briefly describe their background or qualifications if you have history working with them. Note: If your organization does not have a PRSA-LA member volunteer to oversee your work, you may still apply. If your organization is selected, the grant committee will recruit a PRSA-LA member to volunteer to oversee your public relations program. The appointment of this individual will be made, if needed, after the grant has been awarded.
