The Weyerhauser Company has been operating in Louisiana since 1957 and has given 1.5 million in grants over the last five years. Public education institution or governmental entities located within 50 miles of a Weyerhauser facility are eligible to apply for grants. (Note: EBR is less than 50 miles from the Weyerhauser facilities in Livingston and Holden).
