Weyerhaeuser announced it has awarded $297,000 in philanthropic grants across Oregon through its Giving Fund, reinforcing its commitment to investing in the health and resilience of its operating communities. A total of 61 grants were awarded to nonprofits, community organizations and local fire and wildfire suppression districts in Albany, Cottage Grove, Eugene, Lebanon and other rural areas of Oregon.
Among the awards was a $5,000 grant to Central Linn High School for its CTE construction program.
“Thriving Oregon communities are essential to the shared success of our company, employees and Oregon residents,” said Katie Hooker, corporate giving manager at Weyerhaeuser. “These grants support organizations working to make a difference in the lives of Oregonians, from expanding environmental educational opportunities for kids and teenagers, to providing critical services to our most vulnerable community members.”
Weyerhaeuser’s Giving Fund supports U.S. and Canadian communities where the company operates. The fund prioritizes initiatives in seven key areas, which give Weyerhaeuser the flexibility to meet specific needs unique to each community.
Weyerhaeuser is now accepting applications for its 2025 Giving Fund grant cycle. Eligible organizations located within Oregon operating communities are encouraged to apply by Sept. 30.
