Mission Statement
The Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation supports programs of
national and international significance that promote the welfare of
human and natural resources. These efforts will enhance the creativity,
strengths and skills already possessed by those in need and reinforce
the sustaining processes inherent in nature.
Background and
General Information
On January 24, 1950, the Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation,
Inc. was incorporated under the provisions of the Minnesota Nonprofit
Corporation Act. The Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation, Inc. is supported
and governed by members of the Weyerhaeuser Family. The Foundation is
not affiliated with the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation.
The Trustees will consider grant applications that fall
within the bounds of the Foundation's areas of interest; however, the
Trustees select for support only those organizations exempt under US
tax laws and only support projects and programs which address a prime
need and are equipped to make a major contribution under the
circumstances existing at the particular time.
The Foundation requests that the areas of interest,
restrictions and application process be reviewed carefully before
submitting a Letter of Intent. Please see Guidelines for General Program,
Children's
Initiative or
Sustainable Forest and Communities Initiative.
