    Mumbai: Commemorating 12 successful years in the field of PR and communications, PR Professionals, the flagship of PRP Group, has launched ‘RAISE,’ a social communication practice aimed at supporting grassroots-level NGOs with their communication requirements. This practice will be a part of the PRP Foundation. It will provide pro bono communication services to NGOs and individuals across the country who are engaged in impactful work, particularly at the grassroots level.

The goal is to empower these NGOs to raise awareness about their endeavours. This will be a two-way process, allowing organisations seeking these services to directly approach PRP. Concurrently, PRP will actively identify relevant organisations and campaigns to support.

    PR Professionals founder and managing director Dr. Sarvesh Tiwari commented, “Since PRP’s inception, we have supported numerous social campaigns pro bono. We have collaborated with various organizations and stakeholders driving developmental initiatives in the country, providing assistance in promoting their ideas and contributing to a robust civil society. On our 12 foundation days, we formalised this approach as a practice, enabling us to support more campaigns and grassroots-level NGOs through our initiative, RAISE.”

    He further added, “Through this practice, we also aim to collaborate with the government and various ministries, offering our services to raise awareness about social and public interest campaigns.”
