How to Apply
- Application Deadline: August 1. We accept applications until this deadline,
but recommend you do not wait for this deadline and apply as early as possible.
We consider online applications only.
- Application Review Process: Your online application will be acknowledged
immediately and forwarded to your local Giving Fund Advisory Committee for review.
That Advisory Committee will make a funding recommendation that will be reviewed
and approved by administrators of the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund. Applications are
generally reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the year. In some cases an Advisory
Committee may not provide a funding recommendation until later in the Fall after
all opportunities to support their community have been considered.
- Grant Amount: Grants vary in scale in relationship to Weyerhaeuser’s presence
in the community and the philanthropic budget available for the year. The minimum
grant awarded is $1,000.
- Grant Notification: The majority of our communications with you will be through
e-mail. We will communicate our funding decision generally within 6 - 8 weeks AFTER
we receive a recommendation to fund your request from your local Advisory Committee.
Grants are provided through direct deposit, and successful grant applicants will
be asked to provide banking information to accomplish this. The entire process from
submitting your grant application to receiving a decision may take several months.
In some cases committees wait until fall to prioritize and finalize their grant
recommendations, which means you may not hear from us until late in the year. We
regret we cannot fund all applications we receive.

Tips for saving and accessing your online application:
- The first time you access an online application, you will be prompted to create
an application account using an email address and a password. This account will
contain copies of your in-progress or submitted grant application, which you can
access at any time. Please make note of your password. Although this is not required,
we recommend you establish this application account using a general e-mail and password
available to multiple members of your organization. This will ensure your application
is available to the organization even if there are personnel changes. If your organization
applies again in the future, this will be beneficial as several text fields will
appear with the same information previously provided, eliminating the need to re-type
this information. It can also be edited as appropriate.
- Save your application early and often in the process.
- Please save the confirmation emails reminding you of the email and password you
used to create your account, and the link it contains to access your account (to
return to your saved application or view your submitted application).
- A link to log into your grant application account is also provided above (see Access
Your Saved Application). You may need to completely close and re-open your web browser
for this link to take you to your application account.
- If you don’t receive a confirmation e-mail immediately after you establish your
account or submit your application, please check your junk mail folder. To ensure
you receive further communications from us, add weyerhaeuser.com to your list of
contacts or use your e-mail program’s function to mark the e-mail as “not junk”
to ensure our e-mails are received in your inbox.
- If your organization has submitted an online application previously, we recommend
you begin subsequent applications from that same application account. This will
ensure that certain text you provided from an earlier application will appear in
the new application, eliminating the need for you to retype it (for example, background
text on your organization that may not have changed from your previous application).
You will be able to edit any information that appears from a previous application.
- When you are navigating through pages in the application, please do NOT use your
browser’s Back button – you will lose unsaved information. Please click the page
numbers at the top of each screen to navigate through your application.
- You may wish to print a hard copy of the application for your records, or save it
to your computer for future reference.
- Once your application has been submitted, you won't be able to make additional changes
or include additional attachments.
