To celebrate Giving Tuesday, we are happy to announce that applications are now open for the 2023 Purpose PRogram! For the fourth year in a row, Scott Circle Communications is offering our no-cost public relations training to D.C. area nonprofits.

Since the Purpose PRogram launched, we have trained ten students - which means we have helped ten DC-area nonprofits elevate their profiles. That means these non-profits can help more people in our community. After our training, our students had the knowledge to:

• Pitch local TV successfully

• Place an OpEd in The Washington Post

• Revamp a newsletter

• Plus other communications successes!

My home for the past 24 years has been Washington, DC. I’ve worked for the federal government and on political campaigns, planned and attended events at the U.S. Capitol and Senate buildings. I’ve walked the hallowed halls of our nation’s Capitol building more times than I can remember. When I drive by the U.S. Capitol with my children, we talk about how lucky they are to grow up in our nation’s capital and to see so much political activism and democracy in their hometown.

August Edition of SCC’s CircleUp - a collection of resources and ideas for keeping teams connected as they work from home.

We are excited to introduce you to The Purpose PRogram Class of 2020. Starting in March and over the next six months, we’ll be sharing updates and lessons from our monthly sessions with our Purpose PRogram participants. We hope you’ll follow along with us.

Every day at Scott Circle Communications (SCC) we are fortunate to work with mission-driven clients who truly make a difference in people’s lives. Still, I knew there was something more we could be doing for the community - I just wasn’t sure what that was.
