AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BuildASign.com, a leading online custom printing provider, today announced a major milestone in its philanthropic giving efforts. The BuildASign.com Giving Program, the company's self-sustaining program that supports nonprofit organizations nationwide, has now made more than $1 million of in-kind donations to more than 1,700 nonprofits of all sizes. The program was created in 2010 and provides donations and discounts on signage and other BuildASign.com products to nonprofit organizations to help them keep their overhead costs down.

"BuildASign's Giving Program has truly transformed outreach and signage for the Literacy Coalition of Central Texas," said Maegan Ellis, Director of Development and Communication at the Literacy Coalition of Central Texas. "Because of their generosity, we have fast access to high-quality, custom signage and materials that really make a difference in the way donors, students, and the general community perceive our nonprofit."

"The entire BuildASign.com team is excited to have reached this milestone," said Dorelia Miller, the Giving Program Manager at BuildASign.com. "We are committed to supporting nonprofits across the country and are so proud of the wonderful work they are doing in their communities."

In addition to working with local nonprofit organizations, the Giving Program also partners with national organizations like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and supports them by providing technology solutions, branding and logistics assistance. Through the support of the Giving Program, all chapter staff across the country has access to pre-approved templates for items like event and corporate signage to allow them to focus more time on their mission rather than logistics.

The Giving Program operates as a self-funded and self-sustaining business unit that allows for exponential growth and giving, and also funds BuildASign.com's employee donation matching and in-kind and cash corporate gifts.
