Donations

TimberWest takes pride in contributing to the economic and social well being of the communities where we operate and where our employees live.

The objective of TimberWest’s donations program is to:

• Support organizations and projects that improve the quality of life in communities and regions where TimberWest operates;
• Encourage community-minded efforts of employees; 
• Foster public understanding of forest issues.

Eligibility

Grants are made to non-profit organizations and preference will be given to those organizations which have been granted a charitable registration number by the Canada Revenue Agency. Grants may be made to federated organizations or combined campaigns (such as United Way). The company, however, will not award direct grants for general support to organizations receiving support through an umbrella group or trade association already receiving company funding.

Eligible projects and activities include education and youth, civic and community improvement, the environment, culture and arts, amateur sports and health and wellness organizations.
