The Advertising Council, Inc.
 PROFILE
The birthplace of Rosie the Riveter and Smokey Bear, The Advertising Council carries out pro bono ad campaigns on behalf of both government and private organizations. Using public service announcements and Internet ads, the not-for-profit organization conducts more than 35 campaigns (recycling, crime prevention, safety belts) each year, mostly aimed at children's issues. The Advertising Council relies on volunteer efforts from advertising firms and received more than $1 billion in donated ad time and space in 2000. Founded in 1942 as the War Advertising Council, the organization's success in promoting war bonds led President Franklin Roosevelt to ask it to continue applying its efforts to social issues.
