Signs of support for local nonprofits

Sign-A-Rama Milwaukee has launched its Signs of Support program, a grant initiative that will provide $10,000 in free and discounted signage to the milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin area nonprofit and charitable organizations.
“In these tougher economic times, nonprofit organizations often struggle to obtain the necessary funds to provide the valuable services to the community” said Chris Nelesen, owner of Sign-A-Rama Milwaukee. “The Signs of Support program is a way to show these organizations that we appreciate the hard work they do, and helping with signage expenses can go a long way”.
Sign-A-Rama Milwaukee is accepting application until April 30th, 2010. Groups can request signs for events and can include interior or exterior, temporary or permanent needs. Examples of eligible signs are; banners, directional signs, event signs, tradeshow graphics, window and vehicle graphics, posters, foamcore signs, and wall murals. Organizations can apply for the Signs of Support program if they are a local secular or faith-based nonprofit organization, local affiliate of registered charities, local non-government civic organization or part of the Milwaukee area public school system.
According to Nelesen, the Signs of Support grant program is a first step in helping organizations in the area with an affordable means to obtain effective and creative signs that promote the organization’s mission for community service.
“Nonprofit organizations have always been an important part of our customer base and we feel it’s time to give back, these groups do great work and could use our help,” said Nelesen. To request an application for Sign of Support please visit www.milwaukee-signs.com or call 414-273-7446
