Through the aio amplify program, the aio Foundation offers qualified non-profit organizations an opportunity to refine and disseminate their message to the public, lending the expertise and reach of the high-profile media companies under the umbrella of the aio Media Group.

The aio amplify award package of up to $10,000 in value provides creative development and consultation services, plus a digital media and radio campaign across aio Media Group brands (PacificBasin Communications publications’ websites and social media channels; Frolic Hawaii website and social media channels; ESPN 1420 broadcast radio, website and social media channels). The final award package offered to individual grant recipients may vary in value, services and media placements, according the needs of the applicant and at the discretion of the Foundation.

aio amplify award packages may be used for general brand awareness campaigns or to promote a specific event or fundraising effort.
