Corporate citizenship, giving, and social responsibility
We're a force for good in our communities
We address critical needs in the communities where our employees live and work through volunteerism, product donations and charitable giving — all part of our commitment to corporate citizenship and ongoing corporate community engagement.
Grant funding and donations are available primarily in communities where International Paper operates and maintains a significant employee presence.
Our signature causes
IP’s commitment to sustainability reaches beyond environmental stewardship – we’re an engaged member of the communities in which we operate.
We make sustainable investments to protect and improve the lives of our employees, and we mobilize our people, products and resources to address critical needs in the communities where we live and work. Most of the company's donations and IP Foundation grants support projects and programs focused on our signature causes – education, hunger, health and wellness, and disaster relief.
Before applying for a donation or grant funding, we encourage you to review our current Signature Causes to ensure alignment with our community engagement priorities.
Hunger
We work with food banks and other agencies to address hunger and food security for children, families and seniors. These organizations provide meals, access to healthy foods and other programs in the communities where our employees live and work.
Education
We support strategic partners that focus on helping children succeed via a comprehensive approach to education. Literacy, particularly from birth through 3rd grade, is our primary focus because reading skills form the foundation for all childhood learning.
Disaster Relief
We partner with agencies to help communities prepare for and to recover from natural disasters, and we use our Employee Relief Fund to support our affected colleagues.
Health & Wellness
we engage our employees and work with agencies to promote healthy living habits and achieve measurable improvements in health and wellness.
