Sappi Fine Paper North America announced today the grant recipients of its 15th annual Ideas that Matter program, aimed at helping designers create and implement print projects for charitable causes. Since 1999, as part of Sappi's corporate social responsibility program,
Ideas that Matter has funded over 500 nonprofit projects, contributing more than $12.5 million to causes that use design as a positive force in society. The program is open to North American designers who are partnered with a nonprofit organization and have created a solution that is ready for implementation. This year's nine winning projects highlight how designers can use the power of paper as a catalyst for social change and innovation.
"The Ideas that Matter Grant program allows Sappi to expand our commitment to cause-related marketing, addressing real-world issues through design by supporting charitable projects around the world," said Patti Groh, Marketing Communications Director, Sappi Fine Paper North America.
