Print edition newspapers for classroom use are available to schools in our delivery area at a discounted rate of 20 cents per copy, and Wednesday papers are available at no charge to Carl Junction, Carthage, Joplin, and Webb City schools at no charge. It is only through the generosity of our business sponsors that we are able to provide our area classrooms this discounted rate. In addition to paper copies, our business sponsors provide schools in our readership area the e-Edition at no charge. The Joplin Globe sponsorship fund is maintained annually by businesses that partner with The Globe to provide newspapers to classrooms for literacy and learning.

Businesses that donate to the fund sponsor about half the cost of classroom newspapers and all the cost of the e-Edition. The Globe sponsors the other half of the cost, provides delivery, and supports teachers with free classroom materials.

Part of The Globe Sponsorship Fund is given to Joplin Schools Bright Futures and to our area schools scholarship fund, distributed by the Community foundation of the Ozarks. Through these two programs, our area business and The Globe team up to further assist our students with various needs.

Any donation to the NIE Sponsorship Fund is always welcome and very much appreciated. The Globe thanks these sponsors throughout the year in a variety of ways, but the knowledge that a sponsor has helped provide a valuable educational resource to area students is a tremendous reward!

Thank You, Sponsors
The Globe thanks the numerous area businesses and organizations that have donated to the NIE Sponsorship Fund. Their generosity and commitment to education is appreciated!
