FootPRINT Fund

We are excited to launch the Allegra of Lansing FootPRINT Fund®, which awards marketing communications and print services, through Allegra of Lansing, to select applicant nonprofit organizations to help enhance their image, expand their services and extend their marketing communications and printing budgets.

Thank you for your applications! We will notify award recipients by January 20, 2020.

Who is Eligible?

The FootPRINT Fund® is available to any nonprofit group, association or charitable organization throughout the greater Lansing area that meets the FootPRINT Fund® selection criteria.

 

What is the Value of Services Awarded?

Services are awarded at a maximum value of $1,500 per organization for the award year. Applicants may receive services in the value of the amount requested or in a lower amount depending on the number of applications in a given year.

Services include marketing planning, graphic design, printing, signs & banners, copying, bindery or automated mailing. Applicants are encouraged to reapply in the following year.

All awarded print and marketing communications services must be used within the same calendar year the award was received. Awards may only be used for projects originating during these dates and not to offset any existing balances due to Allegra.

We hope the FootPRINT Fund® we have established will help our local organizations and associations leave their “footprints” in our community through increased awareness and visibility.

We challenge each of you to use these print and marketing communications services awards to build a better community, one step at a time.
