On behalf of CENTRO, Liz submitted a grant application to SAPPI Ideas That Matter requesting $18,000.00 to cover the cost of printing and re-branding and was awarded the full amount. This allowed for the printing of some non-dated material that could last up to 5 years and greatly expanded the ability of the staff to build more awareness around their work and mission.
In 2003, Liz's work was included in the "SAPPI Ideas That Matter Global Showcase" publication. Designers from throughout the world whose work expressed creative excellence and innovative ideas created for non-profit organizations were featured. Liz was only one of sixteen designers selected from North America and she was the first in Minnesota to ever receive this particular grant since SAPPI's inception of the program in 1999.
