OnePercent, a fundraising initiative for increased diversity in PR, has launched. OnePercent is a fundraising scheme aimed at activating the collective contributions of many, as opposed to large contributions of few, giving anyone working within the communications industry the opportunity to make a contribution of 1% of their salary (through PAYE) to a fund administered by the Taylor Bennett Foundation.

This money will help fund bursaries, access grants and continued training for PR professionals or those looking to enter the industry from a black or minority ethnic background. Launch partners include Edelman, Pretty Green, Ready10 and The PR Network.
