Community Foundation Retains NewsMark Public Relations for Strategic Communications Counsel

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 23 - The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties announced today it has retained NewsMark Public Relations for strategic communications counsel on a number of civic engagement leadership projects.

The Foundation, which has granted more than $74 million to nonprofit organizations in the community and $4.5 million in scholarships to over 1,200 students since its inception, is developing the first-ever "Digital Public Square" to empower civic engagement across the county. New community resources sponsored by the Community Foundation are also being prepared for publication on the new digital platform that will combine the power of web 2.0 tools and a growing number of nonprofit partnerships to deliver critical community information.

"NewsMark Public Relations presented us with an impressive record of success and a very clear understanding of our work in addressing issues critical to quality of life in Palm Beach County," said Leslie Lilly, President and CEO of the Community Foundation.

"We're pleased to be selected by the Community Foundation to work with its top notch management and communications team to implement a strategic program that underlines the enormous potential of these projects to inspire civic engagement throughout the county," said NewsMark CEO Mark Hopkinson.

Funds from a two-year civic initiatives leadership grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation are being used to develop the "Digital Public Square" project. The Knight Foundation is encouraging community foundations nationwide to pursue similar leadership initiatives.
