Dear Signs of Support Prospect;

Thanks for your interest in the Signarama Downtown Signs of Support program!
When we opened our business in 2003 it was part of our vision that we would be able to give back to our
community in a variety of ways. Signs of Support is that vision brought to life.
With this program we hope to assist non-profit and charitable organizations to have a chance to replace or create
effective, affordable signage for their mission. We are excited that we can help so many people in our
community with the hard work of making Louisville a better place to live.
In this application packet you will find some simple instructions, an application, and individual request forms
for the different types of signage we can provide. Here is a quick guide to the types of signs we can provide:
FACILITY SIGNAGE This is signage like office door markers, vinyl lettering, interior directionals, parking
signage, awards or recognition plaques for donors, and even decorative banners or displays.
EVENT SIGNAGE This is signage that an organization might use for an event like a fund-raiser or activity.
For example, easel signs, yard signage, banners, and other temporary and re-useable signage to help promote an
event or provide logistics.
IDENTIFICATION SIGNAGE This is signage that is the primary signage for your facility, identifying your
site and who you are. It might be a monument sign, flat sign for side of your building, or other type of major
identification.
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 that already have
funding for their signage need to apply for assistance.
We encourage you to read thoroughly the application weve sent to you. This is our seventh year of utilizing this
program, so we encourage your suggestions, ideas, and comments!
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION SUBMISSION: January 16, 2015
QUESTIONS? Please call Kenny at 585-4099 or Kenny@signaramadowntown.com.
Thanks for your interest and best wishes in your endeavors!

How do you anticipate Signarama Downtowns involvement will

assist us with branding or visibility?
The Zoo is offering an in kind sponsorship of banners and signage to promote our seasonal
attraction during 2015 featured throughout the Zoo. This temporary attraction will increase Zoo
attendance because of the popularity of LEGOS.
We will also have additional interactive programming featuring a LEGO master builder
demonstration and a LEGO build room for kids to participate in making their own
Signs of Support
masterpieces from LEGOS. Also, educational programming on STEM related curriculum for
childrens camps and classes.
The non-profit Louisville Zoo is a premier event marketing property that can deliver a partners
message to a target audience of families with children in an uncluttered environment. Becoming
a partner of the Louisville Zoo can help your company reach consumers in a non-traditional way
by engaging them through their daily life experience. With over 38,000 loyal Zoo members your
brand will be noticed by creating heightened corporate image while demonstrating social
responsibility and community involvement that will directly encourage Zoo visitors to patronize
your business in return for supporting the Zoo.
Please give us a description of this event and how this
signage donation will assist your mission.
The Zoos seasonal exhibit of various Zoo animals made of LEGOS will drive
additional attendance during a time the Zoo will be under construction during 2015 to
upgrade elephant, penguin, collumbus monkey and snow leopard exhibits.
We are currently seeking sponsorship to underwrite the cost of the LEGOs exhibit.
