2009 marks the sixth year that CyberAlert will grant a minimum of 15 monitoring packages to not-for-profit organizations. Each grant consists of one full year of free news monitoring / press clipping services, ranging in value from $2,700 to $3,900. Last year, CyberAlert awarded 29 grants in 2008, with a aggregated value of over $275,000 to organizations like the NAACP, the Canadian Breast Cancer Network and America’s Second Harvest.  For a complete list, click here.

All not-for-profit, educational and charitable organizations in the United States and Canada are eligible to apply for the grants, except previous grant recipients. CyberAlert is accepting grant applications until December 31 and will announce the grant recipients in January. More information and a simple and secure grant application is available online.

15 Brand Monitoring Grants Up For Grabs

The panelists include Michael Allison, Stephen Jagger and John Starkey, and we’re going to try and cover as much about this topic as we possibly can! We’ve only got about an hour though, so we’re definitely going to have to move quickly!

I’m definitely looking forward to this afternoon, and I’ll be at the reception afterwards, so if you’re there, come and say hello!

Edited to Add: we had a fantastic panel, people were completely involved, and we had more questions from the audience than panels in the past! Go us! I’ll update you guys on the information shared as soon as I get my brain back. :)
