Hamilton, ON April 28, 2010 – Over 40 non-profit organizations shared in $20,000 worth of in-kind marketing services awarded during the third annual Allegra Hamilton FootPRINT Fund presentations. This brings our total recipients, since FootPRINT’s inaugural year in 2008, to over 100.

Annually, the Allegra FootPrint Fund awards up to $20,000 in marketing services to nonprofit organizations and associations seeking assistance in launching a worthy, new initiative where they may otherwise not have the resources to do so.

“We continue to be inspired by the response to our FootPRINT initiative in just its third year,” say Allegra Hamilton co-owners Gasper Lipari & Dave Knox. “The groups we are supporting are very diverse, and have an impact on virtually every aspect of life in our community.”

Allegra Hamilton launched the FootPRINT Fund in 2008 as part of its Community Care Campaign, a nationwide effort supported by the company’s franchise headquarters, Allegra Network LLC. To date, Allegra has awarded in excess of $60,000. worth of services. The FootPRINT Fund was launched to help unite and strengthen the Hamilton community by assisting eligible nonprofit organizations and associations in building their awareness through innovative marketing initiatives provided by Allegra.

To have been considered for a FootPRINT Fund award, nonprofit groups, associations and charitable organizations with a main office or branch in the Greater Hamilton area would have had to submit a completed application by March 10. Application forms for next year’s fund are available on our website in the FootPrint Fund section.

Award recipients are selected by a review panel based on how the services, requested in the application, will be used to further the organization’s goals. This includes service expansion and program enhancement as well as the organization’s ability to demonstrate their commitment to the community.

Allegra Hamilton features traditional and advanced printing technologies including full-colour offset and digital printing, graphic design services, high volume copying, signs, posters, banners and vehicle wraps, mailing services, promotional products, web-based solutions such as e-blast email marketing and on-line ordering through web-to-print system.
