The Laird Norton Family’s enthusiasm for philanthropy, established in the early days of the company, is represented by the following:

Winona Foundation
The Winona Foundation contributes to the cultural, historical and educational heritage of Winona, Minnesota, birthplace of the Laird Norton Company. Since 1982, the foundation has been fostering new programs and contributing to existing projects in the Winona area.

Laird Norton Family Foundation
The sale of Lanoga enabled LNC to launch this new foundation, which merged with the Laird Norton Foundation in 2007.  Today, the Laird Norton Family Foundation focuses on Arts in Education, Climate Change, Global Fundamentals, and Watershed Stewardship, and engages more than 50 Laird Norton Family members.

Member Suggested Charitable Contribution Program
Offered each year, the Member Directed Charitable Contributions Program (MSCCP) enables owners to direct their pro-rata share of the Company's charitable contributions to the non-profit organization(s) of their choice.

Sixth Sense Committee
Formed by members of the Laird Norton family’s sixth generation, the Sixth Sense Committee is focused on supporting environmental sustainability, youth programs, and community initiatives. The Committee directs a portion of the company’s MDCCP funds and organizes the community service project at the annual Family Retreat.
