Marketing Gem donates services to nonprofits

Social Good Marketing and Design, a Ventura-based marketing firm, announced that it has granted more than 400 pro bono hours of consulting, worth more than $20,000, to local nonprofits.

The two top awardees in the granting process were Ventura County AIDS Partnership and Interface Children Family Services. Each will receive 100 hours of marketing consulting and PR services. More than 200 additional hours were divided among 20 other grant applicants.

Ventura County AIDS Partnership's grant will help the organization to provide programming in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Ventura County. The partnership's latest project, the HIV/AIDS Latino Taskforce, aims to prevent HIV infection using community advocacy.

For Interface Children and Family Services, the grant will help the organization present its message to the community.

Social Good also selected 20 more organizations to receive smaller awards of five to 10 pro bono hours.
