Who is Eligible?
The FootPRINT Fund is available to any nonprofit group, association or charitable organization that meets the FootPRINT Fund selection criteria. Read more below...

What is the Value of Services Awarded?
Services are awarded with a maximum value of $1,000 per organization for the award year. Applicants may receive services in the value of the amount requested or in a lower or higher amount. Services include graphic design, printing, copying and bindery. Applicants are encouraged to reapply in the following year. All awarded print services must be used between January 11, 2008 and December 31, 2008. Awards may only be used for projects originating during these dates and not to offset any existing balances due to Allegra Print & Imaging.

What are the Selection Criteria?
Applications are reviewed by a panel of representatives from Allegra Print & Imaging along with members of the local community. The panel responds in writing to all applications that are submitted in accordance with the application deadline. Organizations should not assume an award has been given until such notification. Any eligible organization or association can apply and need not be a customer of Allegra Print & Imaging.
Award recipients are selected based upon how the print services will be used to further the organization’s goals, including:

Service expansion – Use of print services to contribute to expanding an organization’s awareness or existing service projects.
Program enhancements – Use of print services to promote new programs or projects.
Leveraged efforts – Use of print services to increase the impact of other existing resources.

We’re here to help you impact the lives of others.
Community support is a core value at Allegra Print & Imaging. The FootPRINT Fund is designed to aid nonprofit organizations in their quest to create lasting impressions.

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 services awards to build a better community, one step at a time.
