What Is The Star Outreach Program?
With each new policy, Orion180’s “Star Outreach Program” allocates a fixed amount towards a charitable fund. This fund is managed by Orion180 and distributed to local charities and causes in the areas we write business. Orion180 looks forward to contributing to more than a dozen local charities important to us and our Agency Partners. The Star Outreach Program enables your agency to directly impact your local community.
How To Amplify Your Involvement In The Local Community
Sharing your impact – achievements, positivity, and gratitude – with your community can go a long way to attract support in the future. Communities want to be inspired. By sharing the Orion180 Star Outreach Program donation, you’ll be able to create conversations and truly engage with your community, connect and develop trust-based relationships to aid in future community outreach and fundraising efforts.

Contact Your Local News Stations
Contact your local ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX stations with notes that are short and simple. Give them a quick description of the donation, how much it is for, who it is from, what is the name of the organization it will benefit, and how the donation will positively impact the community. If a rubber-check photo op is scheduled, do not forget to include date, time and address, and your contact information. This will help share your story, aid the organization in future fundraising efforts, and help create greater online visibility for your charity.
Send A Press Release
Press releases are another way of reaching local press. The release should be short, simple and to the point and help tell the story so that local newsrooms can pick it up and either publish it as-is on their own websites or reach out to you for additional information about the donation to enhance the story. Press releases will also help with your online visibility and searchability. Including a call-to-action at the bottom can help with fundraising efforts, as well.
In addition to sending to local newsrooms, you might also want to post the press release to your own website to help with search engine optimization.
You can publish the release on either BusinessWire, GlobeNewswire, PRNewswire or the like, if you have an account pre-setup with either. Please note that each of the wire distributions do require a fee associated with each release dependent on word count, location of distribution and which service you use. If you prefer to use a free wire, you can consider using PRLog which will allow you to publish the press release at your convenience but will not be distributed across the local and/or national news desks.
