Copiers Plus celebrates 40 years in business this November and, in partnership with long-time vendor Kyocera Document Solutions, we’re honoring this milestone by giving back to the North Carolina communities we serve! Our 40 Years of Caring: Sharing the Love Across NC campaign kicked off last December and since, we’ve received over 100 submissions nominating deserving non-profits. After months of combing through these submissions, we’re excited to announce the 40 winning organizations!
Each winning non-profit will receive a $500 check with Copiers Plus and Kyocera combining forces to donate a grand total of $20,000 across the state—from Wilmington and Raleigh to Fayetteville, Greensboro, and Asheville. All 40 recipients are actively serving these North Carolina communities, and we are honored to help further each of their incredible missions.
“This campaign isn’t just about giving; it’s about inspiring. It’s about showcasing the resilience, determination, and unity that define our state,” said Drew Smith, Director of Communications for Copiers Plus. “We are excited to see the great things that can come with this investment back into the communities we serve.”
Let us introduce you to our 40 winning organizations!

Copiers Plus & Kyocera: A 40-Year History of Caring
At the heart of our 40 Years of Caring: Sharing the Love Across NC campaign—and Copiers Plus’s 39 years in business—is a deep commitment to the people of North Carolina and our partners across the state. Kyocera and Copiers Plus have been in partnership since 1985, making our collaboration on this campaign even more special.
On a daily basis, we support North Carolina businesses and organizations with office technology that improves workflow, document management capabilities, and overall productivity. Our copier and printer leasing options, combined with unparalleled service, allow both companies and communities to thrive.
This dedication to serving NC residents and businesses has been a staple in Copiers Plus’s operations since our start. The 40 Years of Caring initiative has allowed us to extend our support beyond copiers and printers to directly impact organizations that are working to improve the lives of North Carolinians every day.
We’ll be featuring each of the 40 winning non-profits on our blog over the coming months. Check back often to learn more about their missions and programs, as well as what you can do to support these amazing organizations.
