The Organization
The Stewardship Foundation was created in 1962 by Mr. C. Davis Weyerhaeuser to serve his Christian philanthropic interests. The Foundation’s mission is to provide resources to Christ‐centered organizations that share their faith in word and deed with others throughout the world. By way of serving this mission, the Board has developed several themes that help organize and channel the Foundation’s giving. These include Leadership Development, Justice and Reconciliation, Faith and Discipleship, Poverty, and Children at Risk.
The Stewardship Foundation has become one of the larger foundations serving Christ‐centered organizations. Over the last five years it has averaged about $6 million a year in gifts to grantees and 106 grants per year, with an average grant size of over $50,000. About 50% of the giving has been international, 20% national, 19% regional and 11% local.
