Grant Guidelines

The Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation will focus its philanthropy on:

• Advancing Renewable Natural Resources (See Funding Guidelines)
• Supporting community priorities where Weyerhaeuser operates.

As a company with more than 100 years of practice developing sustainable solutions and a history of innovation, Weyerhaeuser plays a unique role in contributing sustainable solutions to social and environmental problems. Through the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation, we support advancing renewable natural resources as part of sustainable solutions to community and global problems.

The foundation is committed to investing in advancing renewable natural resources that contribute to sustainable solutions to community and global problems. Contributions to advance renewable natural resources will be considered in the areas of sustainable natural resource management, environmental education leadership, conservation, and green building or infrastructure in areas that recognize the value of renewable natural resources.

In addition to our areas of focus, we support broader community needs such as health and human services, arts and culture, and civic organizations in communities where Weyerhaeuser operates.

In considering requests for support, the foundation gives preference to projects and programs that:

• Serve a broad range of community residents
• Meet our key areas of focus or a key community need
• Show strong support from community leaders and other funders
• Are managed competently with a history of accountability, results, cost-effectiveness, strong leadership and innovation

Major grants are made outside a Weyerhaeuser operating area only by invitation. The foundation does not make multi-year commitments; our grants are considered one-time events.
