SGP Foundation earns GuideStar Silver recognition

 “Since 2016, we have been building a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to providing education on sustainable practices for and in the printing industry,” said Jonathan Graham, SGP Foundation chair. “We are pleased to now share our organization’s transparency in a user-friendly and highly visual manner. By updating our GuideStar Nonprofit Profile to the Sliver level, we can now easily share more information with our supporters as well as GuideStar’s online community of donors, grantmakers and the public.”

 SGP Foundation submitted its nonprofit profile to GuideStar in addition to information about the goals and work to achieve silver recognition. “I encourage anyone supporting a more sustainable future to visit our profile on GuideStar,” said Graham. “The SGP Foundation is pleased with our GuideStar Silver status and will work toward the gold level by adding more data and metrics to our profile.”
