Learn more about our work“JR Communications is like no other firm I have ever worked with. They truly embed themselves in our organization to the point where you can’t differentiate between our team and JRC’s team. They are nimble, responsive, and creative in sharing the work and impact of United Way NCA. Their ability to lean into any situation is a true gift. They are truly our partner.”

“Julie and JRC has been a true partner with DC-CAP for more than 17 years! This longevity shows how much we valued their wise counsel and strategies to elevate our visibility in the region. The JRC team was constantly looking for unique and creative ways to push out our story, or be part of the conversation related to anything college. Let’s just say, they were persistent and collaborative and pushed us to be better. Invaluable to have part of any team.”
