Ontario Not-for-Profits:
Win 3 Months of Free Public Affairs Support!
At SWON Public Affairs, we know how powerful the not-for-profit sector is in shaping stronger, healthier communities. We also know that competing priorities and limited budgets can make it challenging to influence policy, engage decision-makers, and amplify your message. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our Pro-Bono Service Contest, a unique opportunity for one Ontario-based not-for-profit to receive three months of tailored public affairs support at no cost.
The winner will gain 10 hours of expert public affairs support each month for three months, with access to three of our most impactful services:
• Advocacy Audit: A comprehensive review of your current advocacy approach to identify what’s working, what’s not, and where you can maximize your impact.
• Monitoring Reports: Ongoing, timely updates on policy changes, government activity, and media coverage relevant to your mission.
• Advocacy Strategy: A clear, actionable plan to strengthen your influence and secure the outcomes you need.

Why This Matters for Not-for-Profits
For many not-for-profits, limited resources mean advocacy often takes a back seat to direct service delivery. Yet policy decisions, funding opportunities, and public opinion can have a huge impact on your mission. Working with an experienced public affairs strategist like Kirsten Krose ensures your organization is not only at the table but positioned to influence the conversation.

This contest is exclusively open to Ontario not-for-profit organizations. One winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries. Applications Open: August 25 and close September 15, 2025
