About Weyerhaeuser Family Foundationinc

A defining feature of Weyerhaeuser Family Foundationinc’s recent activity is its large support for the Minneapolis Foundation, where it gave $213,952 in 2025 to the Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation Fund. That grant signals a family philanthropy structure that works through a community foundation vehicle rather than only through direct operating grants. Alongside that anchor gift, the foundation has continued to fund a set of issue-specific programs, especially for women and girls, youth affected by trauma, and communities tied to education, health, and economic opportunity. Its recent grants also show a steady preference for grants in the $30,000 range. Those awards have gone to organizations working on maternal health in Kenya, girls’ safety in schools, trafficking prevention, vocational support for marginalized young women, and mental-health services for teens and families. The pattern is not limited to one region or one issue area. It includes domestic community work in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities, together with international projects in countries such as Nepal, Tanzania, Haiti, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Afghanistan. The foundation also funds individuals and makes program-related investments, adding to the range of tools it uses to support its priorities.

What Weyerhaeuser Family Foundationinc Funds

Women’s health appears in multiple recent awards. In 2025, Weyerhaeuser Family Foundationinc gave $35,000 to Lifenet International for transforming Kenyan healthcare for women and their children, and in the same year it gave $30,000 to Health Equity International (st Boniface Haiti Foundation) for delivering high-quality healthcare to women and girls in southern Haiti. Education and economic opportunity for women and girls are also recurring themes. The foundation awarded $31,750 in 2024 to Creamos Norte for skill-building and employment training for 290 Guatemalan women, and $30,000 in 2023 to Nepal Youth Foundation for empowering marginalized young women in Nepal through vocational training support. Youth-focused grants center on resilience and safety. It gave $30,000 in 2025 to Maya Angelou Schools for a child-family mental health workshop series, and $30,000 in 2024 to Project Zawadi Inc for girls safety in schools and communities.
