Allegra Marketing Print Signs Awards $10,000 in Local Grants

Allegra Marketing Print Signs has awarded $10,000 in marketing assistance, signs and printing to several noteworthy non profits as part of its Footprint Fund distribution.

The Footprint Fund is an annual event which seeks to assist not for profit organizations. The groups can apply to receive grants which might include signs, brochures, even the cataloguing of outdated files. Allegra owners Kyle Kurz and Frank Muns initiated the awards some years ago in an effort to help organizations whose budgets are usually stretched to the maximum.

“We know that printing and sign costs can be a significant hit for smaller organizations,” said Muns, “and might actually limit their ability to attract supporters and clients”. Kurz added, “Evanston is a city of engaged supporters, doing for others; this is our way to help those many groups that exist to assist others.” Muns and Kurz encouraged interested parties to apply at any time, indicating that the website is open all year http://www.allegraevanston.com with the next awards being made in Sept. or Oct., 2018. Note: The awards are not limited to the Evanston community.
