Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund

Caring about the communities in which we operate is a key component of our sustainability strategy. Since 1948, the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation has played an integral role in the philanthropic efforts of the company. Our philanthropic program has moved from giving from the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation to giving from the "Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund" through Weyerhaeuser NR Company and Weyerhaeuser Company Limited. Combined, these programs have provided more than $216 million in donations over 63 years.

OUR MISSION:

Nourish the quality of life in Weyerhaeuser’s communities, and foster the understanding that sustainable working forests meet important human needs.

COMMUNITY GIVING:

The majority of our charitable resources support programs in local Weyerhaeuser locations across the U.S. and Canada which help cultivate growing minds and bodies, promote sustainable communities, and nurture quality of life in these communities.

Employees in Weyerhaeuser locations serve as advisors to the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund, make funding recommendations based on the unique needs and priorities of their particular communities, and help create better places to live, work and play.

NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL GRANTMAKING:

A small portion of our grantmaking supports select, high-priority national and international initiatives that are directly related to the sustainability and importance of working forests that improve lives for people and the planet. This may include sustainability issues related to forestry, sustainable forest products, housing, improving ecosystems, and renewable, green energy. Applications in this category are accepted by invitation only.
