Ferguson Wellman Capital Management and West Bearing Investments have been named by Portland Business Journal as a leader in corporate philanthropy in Oregon and southwest Washington.

Ferguson Wellman and West Bearing were jointly ranked fourth in the medium-sized companies category at the Business Journal’s annual corporate philanthropy awards luncheon. The recognition was divided by four size categories base on annual companywide revenue ranges, and was then based on the firms’ total monetary, in-kind and volunteer contributions.

“We have valued community involvement and philanthropy since our founding in 1975. Today, our employees serve on over 65 boards and committees and we feel very fortunate to provide our staff with the opportunities to give back and become involved personally,” said Ralph Cole, CFA, director.
