Most wide-format producers are, by definition, small businesses. Like many small businesses, they are largely made up of the people in their community, and in many cases serve the needs of community Organizations. Because of what the wide-format segment does, it is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of nonprofit organizations and charitable causes of all types to help them achieve their missions and fulfill the needs of those they support.
The following series of articles presents three wide-format companies that have heeded the call and worked to help charitable and nonprofit organizations better meet their goals. While the ways these companies give back to their communities are different, their commitment to giving back forms a strong commonality.

Conversely, a charitable organization may be inspired by the processes wide-format companies use, realizing they can expand their reach and amplify their messages.
