FORT MYERS, Fla. (Aug. 15, 2014) \u2013 The Southwest Florida Community Foundation<\/a> has partnered with Internet marketing company, Atilus<\/a>, on a new grant award for nonprofits.<\/p>\n

The Atilus Community Web Award is a grant that will be awarded to lucky local nonprofits that includes a $20,000 Grand Prize Grant Winner selected to receive a web development and Internet marketing package valued at $20,000. The first 50 to apply will receive a year license for BoardMa.com, valued at $360 for each year-long license.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is that this award will truly benefit nonprofits in Southwest Florida by providing them with increased awareness of their mission and work with the end-goal of increasing their donations year after year,\u201d said Zach Katkin, president of Atilus. \u201cWe want to show our appreciation for the community that has fostered our growth by creating a grant to give back to local nonprofits.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Katkin, Atilus recently launched the new nonprofit centered tool, BoardMa<\/a>, an online portal designed to help board of directors manage their board and organization more effectively. Through BoardMa\u2019s platform, nonprofits can communicate to their board members with ease, record tasks to hold members accountable, keep files in their proper place and much more.<\/p>\n

The award will supply one nonprofit from Lee, Charlotte, Glades, Collier and Hendry counties a yearly website, content production, two years of hosting and Internet marketing consulting services. The total award value is $38,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grand-prize winner will work hand-in-hand with the Atilus team to plan and execute a site redesign as well as a year-long Internet marketing plan,\u201d said Sarah Owen, president and CEO of the Southwest Florida Community Foundation, which is a partner in offering the grant. \u201cAtilus\u2019s track record in helping area nonprofits speaks for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Applications will be accepted from Sept. 1 until Sept. 30, 2014. To apply, visit communitywebaward.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
