International Paper now accepting grant applications

Jun 14, 2020 | 7:00 AM

The International Paper mill in Grande Prairie is now accepting applications for the International Paper Foundation grants.

Wade Doris, Mill Controller at the International Paper mill in Grande Prairie, says the grants let them put money into the communities that support them.

“It’s really a way to get money back into the hands of those that need it, and IP (International Paper) designates signature causes, so as along as these groups can kind of connect to the signature causes that IP has, they can go in and put their applications in and hopefully we can provide some funding to them.”

The signature causes include education, specifically literacy, hunger and food security, disaster relief, health and wellness, and other critical community needs.

International Paper also has funding available for environmental initiatives and employee involvement grants.
