While most businesses are cutting back on expenses, luxuries and even charitable donations, PostcardMania continues to keep its doors open to charities and non-profit organizations in need, despite the current economic situation.
For years now PostcardMania CEO, Joy Gendusa, has been giving back in exchange for the success she has received. In 2005 she set up a division within her company with the sole purpose of handling pro-bono work for non-profit organizations — the only stipulation being that these organizations have the purpose of assisting mankind to improve his lot and make the world a better place. In sync with this, PostcardMania donates the design, printing and mailing services of hundreds of thousands of postcards, flyers, brochures, programs, pamphlets, etc. for non-profit organizations all over the country.
“There are a lot of good organizations, if given a chance, can make a big difference,” said Gendusa. “It makes me happy that we [PostcardMania] can help them… and I know it makes a difference with my staff too — they are so supportive of our probono line. I couldn’t do it without them.”
In 2008, PostcardMania donated a total of 207,500 printed pieces. This year, 2009, PostcardMania has donated a total of 371,000 printed pieces!
Through their donations, PostcardMania has helped many groups that span the full gamut of humanitarianism from the arts, to education, to human rights and even military morale. Some of the groups include:
Bob Swick, President of Clearwater Veterans Alliance, has been seeking the support of PostcardMania’s probono line for two years now. “PostcardMania has donated tens of thousands of dollars for our Veterans Appreciation Day Ceremony.” Swick adds, “This is a very special company led by a very patriotic woman [CEO, Joy Gendusa] whose staff is complimented by many Veterans.”
