NephCure is a leader in the research, treatment and cure of rare kidney disease. For their end-of-year appeal, Trillion’s design began with an outer envelope featuring an impactful photograph of a young patient and an inspirational quote, motivating the recipient to open it and read the appeal.

Fundraising Campaign trifold brochure with an asymmetric flap with the campaign name on the short flap and the outer envelope behind it.

Newark Academy (NA), one of the nation’s oldest private schools, was celebrating its 250th anniversary and chose to mark the occasion by launching their first Founders Day appeal. Trillion designed a short-folded card that evoked a traditional feeling while the layout and photos kept the card feeling modern.

Front of Belmont University Alumni Fundraising Bruins for Life Campaign mailer featuring a photo of students on campus.

For Belmont University’s Bruins for Life campaign, the goal was to create excitement and camaraderie around that annual Day of Giving event. They wanted to re-engage with alumni who had lost touch, and inspire parents of current students to see themselves as part of the Belmont community. By fostering connection among Bruins past and present, this special day should inspire pride and participation.

End-of-year appeal mailing pieces for New York New Jersey Trail Conference.

NY-NJ Trail Conference stewards over 5,200 acres of preserved parklands. They help build, maintain and protect over 2,150 miles of hiking trails that traverse northern New Jersey and southern New York. For a recent annual appeal mailing, we decided to take advantage of a massive envelope and paper shortage—a remnant result of pandemic supply chain issues. Since we could not print our full-color outer envelopes, we decided to print a single color on brightly colored green paper instead—and it was a success.
