Design 21: Social Design Network

A decade ago, we launched Ideas that Matter, the industry’s only grant program aimed at helping designers contribute their talents to the charitable activities that they care about most. Sappi believes that the creative ideas of designers can have an impact beyond the aesthetic and that those ideas can be a powerful force for social good. To date, Ideas that Matter has awarded $9 million worldwide in grants to designer-nominated and -produced projects, supporting causes that range from youth centers and health care awareness to wildlife protection. Working together with our customers, we aim to make a difference.
