Getting Started
The Foundation requires that letters of inquiry (LOIs) and applications be completed via our online application system. The link to the online portal is provided below. If the Foundation invites an application from your organization, the application will appear under the "In Progress" tab of the portal.
Please carefully assess your programs fit with the Foundation's Guidelines prior to starting your application. Applications are limited to one per organization per year.
Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation recently transitioned to a new grant management software, AkoyaGO. The new platform allows multiple users to be affiliated with the same organization. However, prior applications will not be available in the new portal. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Foundation staff are available to assist you with any questions regarding your application. Contact the office at wff@fidcouns.com.
Returning to an Application
Your application does not need to be completed in one session and can be returned to and edited until you submit the application. Please be sure to click "Save Draft" before closing the browser to save your progress.
