Quick Intel
Next PR is accepting applications for its 2026 pro bono Conscious Capitalism Program.
The selected organization will receive six months of free PR services from April-September 2026.
The program includes media relations, social media strategy, messaging workshops, and video creation.
Applicants must demonstrate a "kickass culture," innovative work, and a commitment to improving the world.
The deadline for submissions is January 17, 2026, sent to conscious@nextpr.com.
This initiative builds on a decade of supporting mission-driven organizations like B-COS.
A Decade of Empowering Purpose-Driven Stories
For ten years, the Conscious Capitalism Program has leveraged Next PR's expertise to empower organizations with high-impact communications support. The services provided are comprehensive, encompassing media relations, social media strategy, messaging workshops, and media training. A recent partnership with B-COS We Care For Our Community involved a transformative messaging workshop and rebranding, followed by strategic outreach that significantly elevated the organization's brand and audience engagement.
Guidelines and Application Process
The firm has established clear criteria for prospective organizations. To be considered, applicants must convincingly demonstrate they possess a kickass culture, are engaged in innovative work, and maintain a continuous curiosity about making the world a better place. The submission process requires emailing a proposal to the dedicated program address by the January 17, 2026 deadline. The proposal must succinctly answer three key questions: the organization's mission, how it embodies the three guidelines, and how public relations support would directly help it achieve its goals.
By offering its strategic communications resources pro bono, Next PR continues its commitment to helping mission-driven organizations share their stories more effectively. The program underscores the firm's belief in using public relations as a force for good, providing the tools for innovative companies to expand their reach and solidify their impact in the marketplace.
