Community Enhancement Fund

At Western, we’re committed to creating lasting, positive change in the communities where we live and work. Through our Community Enhancement Fund, we support local organizations with financial contributions, volunteer hours, and in-kind donations of logs and lumber. We prioritize initiatives aligned with our four giving pillars: building communities, reconciliation, sustainability, and climate action.

To be considered, applications must clearly outline the benefits to the community and report on the impact post-funding. Western prioritizes funding to organizations that:

•  Align with one or more of our four giving pillars: building communities, reconciliation, sustainability, and climate action
•  Clearly outline anticipated benefits to the community on their funding application, and be able to report the impact post-funding.

The following are ineligible for funding:
•  Individuals outside of our established scholarships
•  For-profit organizations
•  Private schools
•  Organizations that discriminate based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation
•  Mass-mailed or non-addressed solicitation
