International Paper is proud of the products we make and the way we make them. For more than 110 years, our company has been one of the most environmentally responsible companies in the world. We are looking for programs that help generations understand a sustainable approach to business that balances environmental, social and economic needs. Given the vast nature of this subject area, the Foundation has decided to focus on:
- National Geographic Kids Magazine subscriptions at schools in local communities
- Earth’s Birthday Project kits for children—www.earthsbirthday.org
- programs that coincide with content from the pbs.org website ECOinvestigators
- science based programs targeting children
- outdoor classrooms at schools or in communities
- outdoor science programs tied to forestry, air or water quality
- programs that educate and promote recycling and composting
Literacy
- program that enhance reading materials at school and community libraries
- programs that enhance the reading skills of children
- programs that teach English as a second language
The Foundation makes grants to Section 501(c)(3), nonprofit charitable organizations. In addition, certain municipal, county, state and federal entities are eligible, such as school districts. Non-profit organizations with a program in an area that the Foundation supports must take an eligibility quiz at www.ipgiving.com — click on “Apply for a Grant.” All proposals will be routed to the local IP facility.
