Times Union announces the Great $100,000 Giveaway

In November, 10 local nonprofits will have the opportunity to share in $100,000 in granted advertising space in the Times Union.

As part of the Capital Region Gives editorial project, area nonprofits will be the focus of the special section.  Through their advertising support, the corporate community will come together for the benefit of the  many nonprofits that do so much to help those in need.

According to the Boston College for Corporate Citizenship, 2014 State of Corporate Citizenship study,  “ the majority of executives view corporate citizenship as a way to achieve strategic corporate goals. It’s clear that executives understand the value of corporate citizenship and are investing in processes and programs that deliver both business and social value.”

Any nonprofit that has an ad in the special section will be eligible to win a share of the $100,000 grant. Voting to determine which  nonprofit will win the grant will be held on timesunion.com after the release of the Capital Region Gives section on Nov.  19.

One-hour information sessions will be held at the Times Union starting July 21 and running until September 23.

To find out how to be part of Capital Region Gives, the Great $100,000 Giveaway, call Charmaine Ushkow, Community Relations Manager, Times Union, at 518.454.5792.
