The wide-format printing industry is filled with talented, hardworking professionals who help bring visual communications to life. But many in this industry also find time to give back to others through charitable acts, volunteer work, and community service. We want to hear your stories of philanthropy and goodwill.
For an upcoming feature, we are looking to highlight wide-format print companies and professionals who try to positively impact their communities. Do you donate supplies, services, or funds to nonprofits and charitable causes? Do you or your company sponsor events, fundraisers, or campaigns that aid those in need? Are you involved with mentoring programs, skills training, or other initiatives that lift up disadvantaged groups? We want to share how you’re making a difference.
Whether through formal corporate social responsibility programs or informal individual efforts, there are countless ways that wide-format print businesses support important causes. Maybe you provide discounted or pro bono printing for community organizations. Perhaps you allow employees paid time off for volunteering. Or you could donate printing services for fundraising events and campaigns. We want to applaud all forms of charitable giving.
We also want to recognize inspiring stories of compassion from individuals in the wide-format printing industry. If you volunteer your time and talents to help youth, the elderly, the environment, or other important causes, we want to hear from you. Do you serve on nonprofit boards, participate in charity races and events, or find other ways to assist your community? Let us share your story to inspire others in the industry.
By highlighting charitable initiatives in wide-format printing, we hope to spread awareness while giving well-deserved recognition to businesses and professionals who are making a positive difference.
