Nuturing the Seeds of Peace in Atlanta

How the "Atlanta: City of Peace Initiative" used Daybook to ramp-up their peace projects

"Our decision to use Daybook brought media attention to our new non-profit!""

John R. Naugle, Co-Founder of the Atlanta: City of Peace Initiative, knows success of new non-profits depends on whether they can get their message to the community. Working in conjunction with Partnerships in Peace, Atlanta: City of Peace Initiative’s goal is to help Atlanta discover more purpose through developing as an international peace capital. They have a dream that the city can eventually become known as “Atlanta: City of Peace, A Global Nexus of Peace Cultivation, Education, and Inspiration."

"Being very new as a non-profit, knowing little about public relations, and not having any funding or fundraising events yet, they needed to alert the Atlanta media about their goal of creating “The World’s Biggest Peace Garden.”

John says: “With just a little bit of Googling, we thankfully discovered that Atlanta Daybook was the easiest and most effective way to send press releases. We then immediately registered with Daybook and posted our press release. The following Sunday, Robert Feingold, a reporter from The Sunday Paper, showed up at our press conference and later wrote a very nice article covering our project. We are very fortunate to have found Atlanta Daybook!”

"We are certain that posting our story on Daybook resulted in a wonderful article in The Sunday paper about our organization."

Atlanta: City of Peace Initiative has been receiving record numbers of click-throughs with their peace project press releases. Atlanta Daybook allows the shoestring budget Naugle works with to alert the media to their projects. He states: “Most importantly, I am very excited that hundreds of other non-media readers are discovering our Atlanta: City of Peace Initiative. As soon as business, civic, and government professionals of Atlanta (many registered with Atlanta Daybook) discover our goals, then we will find our answers to getting packaged as a non-profit. I’m certain our eventual success (and even the city’s destiny) will be due to Atlanta Daybook!”

The Partnerships In Peace and Atlanta: City of Peace Initiatives are well on their way to blazing trails and fulfilling their non-profit mission. Since their first press release (July 23, 2006) announcing the goal of creating “The World’s Biggest Peace Garden” (www.PL-G.org), they have also posted press releases about producing “The World’s Biggest Peace Concert” (www.See-Peace.org), and establishing “The University of Peace-North America” (www.UPatl.org).
