Mission and Values

Mission:

To invest in people, ideas and efforts that deliver significant social benefit to Oregon and Clark County, Washington

Values:

The man behind the Meyer Memorial Trust – Fred G. Meyer – was ahead of his time. His values continue to create and inform our culture, influencing what we do and how we do it. Following his example, we strive to inspire, innovate, partner and lead in ways that improve the quality of life in Oregon and southwest Washington.

Stewardship:
We hold ourselves accountable to make the highest and best use of all our resources in ways that achieve meaningful results.
Entrepreneurship:
We expect ourselves to learn, evolve and innovate. We take pride in investing in people and ideas that involve risk yet hold great potential to improve the quality of life in our region. We aim to be courageous in what we do and how we do it.
Service-driven:
We support our constituents, as their success is our success. We collaborate with others and look to support the work of organizations that act similarly as a means to achieve greater results.
Leading by example:
We strive to demonstrate excellence, integrity, respect and equality. Our work is open, accessible and transparent. We are committed to continually improving ourselves, our processes and our results to best serve those working to make a better Oregon and southwest Washington.
