Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation

Since 1948, the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation has played an integral role in the philanthropic efforts of the company providing more than $208 million in donations over more than 60 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 the Foundation’s resources support programs in local Weyerhaeuser locations 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 Foundation, make funding recommendations based on the unique needs and priorities of their particular communities, and help create better places to live, work and play.

When Weyerhaeuser enters a new location, that community becomes eligible to receive foundation grants. When Weyerhaeuser leaves a community, the annual budget allocation is maintained in full during the year of closure.

NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL GRANTMAKING:

The Foundation directs a small portion of its grantmaking to 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.

Giving in Canada is not funded through the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation.
