In accord with Mr. Meyer's will, the Trust is governed by a five-member board of trustees responsible for the policies, assets, and giving of the foundation.
Trustees serve for life or until resignation.
Vacancies on the board are filled by the remaining trustees. The chairmanship of the trustees rotates annually when a new fiscal year begins on April 1. In creating the Trust, Fred Meyer demonstrated farsightedness. With thoughtful giving, even small sums may accomplish great purposes.
