JESUP — The Rayonier Advanced Materials Foundation recently awarded $150,000 in direct grants and designated United Way matching grants to area public schools, agencies and nonprofits.
Jack Perrett, general manager for the Rayonier Advanced Materials Jesup plant, presented 32 awards to community organizations during the foundation’s annual grant breakfast on May 12.
Part of the money was raised through an employee United Way campaign and matched by The Rayonier Advanced Materials Foundation.
“The Jesup plant has called Wayne County home for more than 60 years. Community involvement has always been a great source of pride for our employees, and we are honored to be part of the wonderful work being accomplished by our area nonprofits,” Perrett said.
Charles Hood, president of The Rayonier Advanced Materials Foundation, said the donor looks forward to being a community partner for many years.
“These organizations work hard to improve the lives of our Wayne County and Southeast Georgia neighbors, and we salute their efforts,” Hood said.
