To further our mission, FCCA uses print and direct mail to send out quarterly and annual newsletters to our families and donors. These newsletters include color pictures of the children who have recently been adopted, as well as pictures of adopted children growing over the years: graduations, weddings, and all kinds of wonderful life events. Many families also submit their adoption stories, or written family updates, so we can keep track of their family journeys over the years.

We have many printing needs such as: Flyers for the conventions and events we attend, business cards for our Board Members and informational documents to send to our membership when needed.

We have historically used print and direct mail to ensure all friends of CASA – volunteers, donors, and supporters, can see that impact in our annual report.

The items printed in 2022 presented the history, mission, vision and operation of the Braille Circulating Library (Library) as a cohesive set of branded material. These items were designed in-house and sent to Conquest Graphics and the printing staff worked with us to ensure that the details of our design met their specifications.

Direct mailing is a significant part of our annual marketing. Our reach extends to over 14,000 households and we send out at least four mailings a year. In 2022, we sent out our annual donation request, a pamphlet with our season calendar, an informational postcard on our wine dinner series, and a postcard about our lineup of local cabaret performers. We find a direct correlation to our mailings and an increased number of ticket sales, donations, and interaction with our digital platforms.

Print is the most valuable source of communication to allow us to stay connected with our donors. Because of print, we continue to build our nonprofit and donor base, which can help more children in the country of Haiti have the gift of quality schooling and good health.

Each spring and fall we send mailers to update our community about the work Camp Alkulana is doing to improve the lives of children and youth in the Richmond area. We work with our designer to create products that highlight stories, quotes, photos, and facts about our summer camp program and school-year programs.

We use a lot of brochures for ability expos and the diving industry trade show, it is our key collateral for recruiting recipients and new chapters so we will be redesigning it and need to print in the next few months. We are also needing more as we are sending a promotional packet to our past recipients asking them to share our brochures and their story to others in the disabled community to encourage more recipients.

We need to create direct mailing that will open the minds of the community, and members of the legislation that will bolster re-entry efforts and programs to expand job opportunities, increase access to housing, permit registration to vote, provide mental health programs, and reduce probation time, to name a few. This grant will help us to share the stories of those who have been involved in the criminal justice system and how our reentry services helped them get reaccumulated back into society.

We use print marketing to share alcohol and drug abuse awareness and prevention messaging with you, families, businesses, faith-based organizations, schools, and community partners.

We use print and direct mail to reach underserved communities, to market our events, and help us raise funds to support scholarships and programming. We create flyers, marketing postcards, an annual fund letter, rack cards to promote programs and we are looking for a new partner to assist with our print needs. We hope to increase our capacity to stay connected with all the kids that come for a camp session with birthday cards and reminders to register the following year. The sky is the limit!

Our goal is to be able to provide these cards and additional printed materials to numerous business organizations, schools and community organizations throughout Arizona at no cost, to ensure that everyone has immediate access to information, to assist in a time of crisis.

One effective tool we have discovered is a hardcover photo book which includes stories of our patients that illustrate the transformation that surgery provides.

To connect with those visiting our beautiful area, we print two-sided, full-color rack cards telling the story of our facility, our confections, and most importantly our amazing staff. These rack cards have our contact information, our address information, our website information, when in operation, and tour information.

The majority of our mailings require not only a letter/envelope format but also return envelopes to accompany the original mailing. Additionally, we follow up with thank you letters for donations and ticket purchases, all of that require accompanying envelopes, paper, and cardstock use. We need large signage printed at least monthly throughout the year for these and other events, as well.

Conquest Graphics has been a huge blessing as our printing partner for years. Their easy to use ordering portal, utilization of the best technology, quick online customer service and amazing sales reps have transformed how CONNECT Christian Camp utilizes print and direct mail.

We use business cards, brochures, look books, info posters, photo cards/prints, fundraising promo prints etc. to market ourselves. We hope to add more direct mail with a budget. We are the ideal nonprofit to support with this grant because everything we do can be put on print.

The Science Museum of Western Virginia currently utilizes print and direct mail to maximize our mission and community outreach. However, we aim to spread our mission and impact by upgrading our print efforts and increasing the information we distribute within our community.

Jacob's Chance uses printing services for flyers / informational cards that are posted at area businesses and schools to help educate the community about our programs. We provide buddy ball athletics, fitness, outdoor adventures, enrichment programs, and socialization clubs for youth and young adults with developmental, intellectual, and/or physical disabilities ages 5-35.

The Arts Council orders postcards for most or all of our arts events ranging from concerts to fundraising galas to gallery exhibits and receptions. We also print brochures for festivals, which serve the dual purpose of advertising the festival in advance and providing key information during the event.
