Chris Hunter and Advocacy Solutions: Shortly after the founding of Longitude, Chris garnered the support of Advocacy Solutions to provide pro-bono advertising and public relations services to Longitude. The Providence-based public affairs firm provided design services, including a logo, launched a website and a blog for Longitude, and secured multiple positive media opportunities.

Since its inception, ARV has been dedicated to human rights issues afflicting Dalits communities in India. Together with Longitude, ARV has built houses for hundreds of people, provided school supplies to local students, and supplied nutritional supplements to growing children.
