Through the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund, we support U.S. and Canadian communities where we have a significant presence or business interest. These communities range from rural to metropolitan, each with unique priorities and needs. Our employees serve on local advisory committees for our Giving Fund and help develop funding priorities within seven focus areas to support their communities: affordable housing; education and youth development; environmental stewardship; human services; civic and cultural growth; workforce development; and diversity, equity and inclusion. These focus areas provide a strong companywide framework for giving while allowing flexibility to meet specific needs in our different communities.
Focus Areas
Through the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund, we concentrate the majority of our funding in seven focus areas:

• Affordable Housing
• Education and Youth Development
• Environmental Stewardship
• Human Services
• Civic and Cultural Growth
• Workforce Development
• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
• To learn more about our giving focus areas, view our community grantmaking framework.

A small portion of our grantmaking supports high-priority national initiatives directly related to the sustainability and importance of working forests and the products and services they provide. This may include sustainability issues related to forestry, sustainable forest products, housing, improving ecosystems and green energy. Applications in this category are accepted  by invitation only.
