CHARITABLE PRINTING — LENDING A PRESS

Print donations are based on previous year’s sales. In 2004, the figure was around $31,000; for 2005, it shot up to the $41,000 range.

“We get a fair number of requests,” states John Begley, a CSR for Community Printers. “A lot of it is word of mouth; we don’t advertise. We do a lot of brochures that explain what an organization does, and flyers promoting fund raisers. We help the Second Harvest Food Bank quite a bit, producing a fundraising letter that they send out once a year for their big holiday food drive.”
