Grant Guidelines

Our August 31 application deadline has passed, and we are not accepting additional grant applications for the remainder of 2009. We invite you to visit our website in 2010. We will post new funding priorities, application process and deadlines early in the year.

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 and conservation in areas that recognize the value of renewable natural resources.

In addition to this area of focus, Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation supports broader community needs in health and human services, education, environment, arts and culture, and other civic and community priorities in communities where Weyerhaeuser operates. We also consider selected regional or national projects or programs that are closely tied to the forest products and homebuilding industries.

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

The foundation does not make multi-year commitments.
