Sappi Fine Paper North America announces 2010 Call for Entries for Ideas

Since 1999, Sappi’s Ideas that Matter program has awarded over $10 million worldwide in grants to designers around the globe, who are performing pro bono work for a nonprofit organization. The grants support a range of health, social and environmental causes facing our communities such as childhood obesity, discrimination among youths and water conservation.

Individual designers, design firms, agencies, in-house corporate design departments, design instructors, individual design students and design student groups, who are performing pro bono work for a nonprofit organization can apply for an Ideas that Matter grant. Grant awards range from $5,000 to $50,000 per project and may be used to cover implementation and out-of-pocket costs. Applications for this year’s Ideas that Matter program must be postmarked by July 16, 2010. The winners will be announced in September 2010.
