For more information about SOS Healthcare Inc. please visit their website, www.sos-healthcare.org Did you know that less than 5% of charitable organizations annual budgets are devoted to marketing and promotion? Did you know that there are non-profit organizations right here on the Grand Strand which no one knows about because of their lack of funds and resources? The Global Awareness Project (GAP) is providing a stronger voice for these invaluable community service organizations through promotional and marketing support utilizing multimedia art, photojournalism and documentary work. We accomplish this through creative projects designed to foster GAP's core values of community connection, awareness and education. Through discussions and involvement with local non profit organizations, GAP recognized that one of their greatest unmet needs is the ability to build community awareness of their missions, activities and accomplishments. This means while the majority of sponsors funds and grants go toward fulfilling the mission and vision of non profit agencies, there is little or no money left to attract new donors, maintain websites, print brochures and send newsletters to keep their sponsors informed of events and activities. Innovative in concept and design, GAP’s mission and vision is grounded in showcasing humanitarian and cultural events in local communities.
