Palm Springs Public Library Foundation
A Proposal for Support of an Awareness Campaign
November 2023
I.Background
In accordance with The Foundatfon’s strategic directfon to increase awareness of its primary mission;
and recognizing the City of Palm Springs selectfon of an architecture firm and allocatfon of funds for an
initfal planning phase; the tfming is appropriate for the Foundatfon to hire a Public Relatfons firm to
implement its Awareness Campaign.
The Foundatfon believes that the Campaign is necessary to:
1.Make the public aware of and differentfate the Foundatfon from other Palm Springs Public Library
(PSPL) support organizatfons, specifically The Friends of the PSPL.
2.Expand and reinforce community awareness that the renovatfon project is underway, and
3. Positfon the Foundatfon as the primary fundraiser for community donatfons to support the renovatfon
project as a partner with the city.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Palm Springs and the Foundatfon states that
the Foundatfon may request a grant from the Library Trustees for the purposes of advancing its mission
to raise funds for the betterment of the Library. That proposal should include:
1. The amount of the contributfon sought;
2. A descriptfon of the actfvity, services, or goods that the contributfon will be used for;
3. A specific budget demonstratfng how the contributfon will be allocated; and
4. A descriptfon of the forecasted or antfcipated outcome of the actfvity, services, or goods for which the
contributfon will be used.
This proposal successfully addresses these requirements.
II.Public Relations Firm Selection Process
The Communicatfons Committee of the Foundatfon board solicited proposals from PR firms operatfng in
the Coachella Valley. Four firms responded to our request for proposal. Of these, three were considered
finalists after an analysis and scoring exercise and were subsequently interviewed. The proposal that the
committee felt was superior came from Kyle & Co. Planning is underway to fine tune the specifics of the
campaign. The initfal focus is on the first six months from kick-off, with an understanding that additfonal
effort will be made after that tfme frame, adjusted to the impact created in those first six months.

VII.Anticipated Outcome
The Palm Springs Public Library Foundatfon expects that this Awareness Campaign will achieve its goals,
enhancing the Palm Springs community’s understanding of the library renovatfon project, and most
importantly, that the Foundatfon is the key organizatfon in the city to drive and accept donatfons. We
believe that this campaign will positfon the organizatfon to raise money from private donors, businesses
and other organizatfons in the city. It will provide the Foundatfon with a platiorm to launch fundraising
efforts along a broad contfnuum of varying programs and outreach.
Also, this campaign will be carried out simultaneously with City of Palm Springs press releases as the
architecture firm makes progress, Library newsletters and emailings updatfng the progress of the
renovatfons, and other media focus on overall project developments over the first six months of 2024.
Kyle & Co. will develop a scorecard to assist in measuring the effectfveness of the campaign.
We believe we have conducted a thorough search for the right PR firm to carry out this important
element of our fundraising strategy. Kyle & Co. has an excellent track record with these kinds of projects
and we antfcipate great success collaboratfng with them.
VII.Grant Request
The Palm Springs Public Library Foundatfon sincerely appreciates the collaboratfon with the Library
