CSI SPEND
For Impact – not for Profit.
Wheel Well has various projects and initiatives each requiring an amount of CSI spend. You can either contribute directly to the “Car Seats for Kids Campaign” or contact us via email regarding your spend.
We will reply with asking simple questions such as your CSI spend / budget, your area, spelling out the projects and initiatives we do and suggest a project for your area. These factors are all negotiated including marketing and public relations, depending on the CSI budget spend.
