Paper Plus is giving local schools the opportunity to kick start 2011 in style with the first ‘Paper Plus My Local Community School Grant’ programme.

There are four $4,000 Paper Plus My local Community School Grant’s up for grabs!

Each Grant will consist of a My Big Deal card pre-loaded with $3,000 for schools to spend at their local Paper Plus store, this could be new books for the school library and/or stationery packs to kick start the year with.

The Paper Plus My Local community School Grant will also include $1,000 worth of local advertising from The Radio Network, that the winning school could use to promote their local school fundraising event.

Paper Plus recognises the role schools play within the communities in which they operate, but we know times are tough. As members of the local community Paper Plus is keen to offer its support through the School Grant programme.

Paper Plus CEO Rob Smith says the ‘Paper Plus My Local Community School Grant’ programme is Paper Plus’ way of helping schools to get 2011 off to a great start.

“As a New Zealand owned and operated company, we’re delighted to be able to offer the ‘Paper Plus My Local Community School Grant’ programme so we can support the excellent work that’s already demonstrated by New Zealand schools,” said Rob Smith, CEO, Paper Plus.

“We are delighted to make these grants available to make things a little easier for our local schools in 2011,” says Mr Smith.
