Applicable Types of Signs
Here is a quick guide to the "types" of signs we can provide through the Signs of Support Grant Program:
- Facility Signage = office door markers, vinyl lettering, interior directionals, parking signage, awards or recognition plaques for donors, and even decorative banners or displays.
- Event Signage = signage that an organization might use for an event like a fund-raiser or activity. For example, easel signs, yard signs, banners, and other temporary and re-useable signage to help promote an event or provide logistics.
- Identification Signage = primary signage for your facility, identifying your site and who you are. It might be a monument sign, flat sign (fascia) for your building, or other type of major identification.
- Vehicle Graphics = Your vehicles can be an excellent way to advertise your mission. Examples: vehicle lettering, removable magnets, partial and full wraps
Please consider your level of need prior to applying. We have limited funding and hope we can provide help to those of the greatest need and most powerful impact. It is not our intent that organizations who already have funding for their signage needs apply for assistance.
