From its headquarters in Vancouver, Washington, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust provides grant funding to non-profit organizations across the Pacific Northwest. Founded more than four decades ago, it seeks to build flourishing communities by supporting visionary efforts to transform the culture through a variety of social and spiritual endeavors. The Murdock Trust supports those who serve the common good and bring hope to the local region.
As the Murdock Trust continues to seek new partners, it also celebrates the work of the hundreds of organizations it has funded in the past year and the outstanding achievements of their endeavors. These partners multiply the good it can accomplish across the Northwest and beyond. Records of such accomplishments over the years can be found in a series of books titled Messages of [State].
The Murdock Trust also empowers pioneering community leaders by providing them with leadership development and education in topics such as non-profit growth strategies through a variety of enrichment opportunities. These include the Essentials of Development Seminar, which consists of two-day sessions led by experienced professionals. The seminar helps participants learn how to identify and express their core mission statement and to create a successful and sustainable business plan.
