The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme is a new
initiative designed by Grassroot Diplomat to engage corporations in building
sustainable and meaningful relationship with grassroots organisations.
Grassroot Diplomat is calling for applications from underfunded NGOs and youth
networks requiring policy research and development of projects. Grassroot
Diplomat aims to select clients that are suffering from financial hardship but
require independent diplomatic research assistance in their policy-related
project. All projects under this programme will be expected to be paid for by
corporate partners engaged in CSR.
Clients will receive:
- free assistance with research and development
- access to influential decision-makers
- contacts with reputable and well-known company
- full sponsorship that will cover cost of service required
by Grassroot Diplomat
- 25% donation to sustain project
Corporations will:
- pay the full sponsorship fee
- gain significant access to influential members of
government
- increase its reputation with consumers
- be provided with human interest PR stories and marketing
opportunities to networks
- leverage its market in the diplomatic and government
sector
