Domtar Awards Over 100 Grants Through $2K Your Way Program
Fort Mill, South Carolina based Domtar has awarded 107 grants in 2025 through its $2K Your Way program. The program, which gives employees the opportunity to apply for grants to support causes they care about, is part of Domtar’s community investment framework, Domtar Connects, which launched in April 2025, complements owner Jackson Wijaya’s own commitment to philanthropy.

The $1K Your Way program was introduced five years ago, and in 2023, the company increased the grant amounts and renamed the pro- gram $2K Your Way. The corporate integration of Domtar, Resolute Forest Products and Paper Excellence expanded the reach of our $2K Your Way program. In 2025, the program was opened to all 14,000 Domtar employees in North America and this year, we received 143 applications. With the en- dorsement of company leaders, our initial goal of awarding 25 grants was more than quadrupled to 107 grants that will support a wide range of causes, from early childhood education in Quebec to homeless shelters in South Carolina. “It’s been wonderful to see so many employees embrace the $2K Your Way program,” says Jennifer Johnson, vice president of global com- munications for Domtar. “Whether it is an employee’s fifth year participat- ing in the program or their first time, the $2K Your Way program enables them to give back to organizations they are passionate about.” $2K Your Way Program Makes A Difference We spoke with some of this year’s recipients about the causes they will support with a $2K Your Way grant. • Jean Bigelow, who is a technical manager, applied for funding for the CPE Aux Trois Pommes daycare center located in Gatineau, Quebec. “This grant will help further promote the development of children through nature-based learning,” Jean says. “It makes me very proud to work for a company that cares about nonprofit organizations.” • Tracie Redmond donated her $2K Your Way grant to the Bethel Day Shelter, located in the Pathways Community Center in Rock Hill, SC, who said they could use the grant to provide more beds for the com- munity’s unhoused population. “Not only are they grateful, but I am as well for this wonderful program that Domtar provides to their em- ployees,” says Redmond.
