Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Weyerhaeuser Company's core business is timberland management and forest products manufacturing, not financial services.

While Weyerhaeuser has launched community development initiatives, such as the THRIVE program with a $5 million commitment to rural communities for housing, broadband, education, and workforce development
