The Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation aims to promote sustainable forest management, conservation, and ecological restoration to foster vibrant, sustainable forest-based communities. This involves supporting integrated approaches that enhance the valuation of forest ecosystem services, contributing to the health of the environment, the economy, and community wellbeing.
The Youth Initiative supports programs that serve youth aged 14-21 who have been significantly affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). These experiences include emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, exposure to domestic violence, household substance abuse or mental illness, family separation, and incarceration of a household member. Eligible programs must be new or introduce a new therapeutic component. They should offer age-appropriate therapeutic interventions that promote resilience, stability, and psycho-social health. The initiative prioritizes trauma-informed practices and requires interventions to go beyond crisis intervention with measurable evaluation plans. Programs should also enhance relationships with a significant adult in the youth’s life.
