Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund 2026 – Maine
The Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund supports U.S. communities where the company has a significant presence or business interest. In Maine, Weyerhaeuser identifies eligible Timberlands counties as Franklin, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Somerset, and Waldo.
Funding
The minimum grant awarded is $1,000. The current official Giving Fund page does not state an applicant-level maximum; grant size varies with Weyerhaeuser’s presence in the community and the philanthropic budget available for the year.
Deadline
Applications for the 2026 cycle are due September 30, 2026. The controlling public page does not state an exact closing time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. Applications must be completed through Weyerhaeuser’s online portal and include all required attachments.
Who may apply
A program must serve a Weyerhaeuser community. Eligible U.S. applicants include tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charities, public education institutions, and government entities qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 170(c)(1).
Relevant focus areas
The Giving Fund focuses on affordable housing, education and youth development, environmental stewardship, human services, civic and cultural growth, workforce development, and inclusion. For the Maine Atlas lane, the strongest healthcare and school relevance is for qualifying nonprofit health, school, youth-development, workforce, and human-services projects in eligible Weyerhaeuser counties.
Key requirements and exclusions
Applicants should be prepared to provide the organization’s Tax ID, contact and organizational information, detailed request information, financial information related to the organization and proposed project, and an updated W-9 for U.S. applicants. The public page does not state a required applicant match or cost share.
The Giving Fund does not fund general administrative or indirect overhead, projects outside a Weyerhaeuser community, individuals, sports teams or athletic events, operating deficits or debt liquidation, endowments and memorials, capital campaigns, multiyear requests, or the other excluded categories listed by the fund.
Maine healthcare precedent
Penobscot Community Health Care reported that the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund awarded $15,000 to Jackman Community Health Center in December 2018 for heating and cooling improvements. Jackman is in Somerset County, one of Weyerhaeuser’s currently listed Maine counties. This is useful evidence of prior local healthcare support, but it is historical precedent only and does not guarantee a 2026 award or confirm the allowability of any particular technology cost.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 78/100. This is a credible Maine nonprofit, education, government, and human-services funding source with six eligible Maine counties, a current 2026 deadline, and demonstrated historical support for a rural Maine health center. The broad program scope, locally determined priorities, and absence of a publicly stated maximum award reduce certainty.
N9+ Fit Score: 56/100, conditional. For a rural healthcare applicant such as Jackman Community Health Center, the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform could support a measurable access project involving guided examinations, vitals, and telehealth-enabled clinical encounters. The current Giving Fund criteria do not expressly identify telehealth or clinical technology as an eligible cost, so Atlas should not represent N9+ allowability as confirmed. Applicant and funder validation is required before including the platform in a request.
Dr. Miltie direct applicant path: Not eligible based on the published U.S. applicant categories. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not a 501(c)(3) public charity, public education institution, or qualifying government entity. Any role would need to be as an applicant-selected technology/vendor partner in a project that the funder accepts.
