Grants

The objectives of Weyerhaeuser's giving program in Canada are to:

• Support organizations and projects that improve the quality of life in communities and regions where Weyerhaeuser has a major presence
• Encourage the community-minded efforts of employees
• Foster public understanding of forest issues

We make grants to eligible organizations for projects that are consistent with our objectives and presence in the community, region, or province. In considering requests for support, we give preference to projects, programs, and activities that:

• Serve a broad range of community residents
• Meet a key need in the community
• Show strong support from community leaders
• Are managed competently by excellent organizations with a history of accountability, cost-effectiveness, strong leadership, and creativity
• Provide a significant and measurable impact on quality of life

Grants are in the form of cash. Weyerhaeuser generally does not make in-kind donations. Normally, our support is committed for only one year at a time. Most grant awards are for less than $10,000.
