We focus on giving locally in the areas of health and human services, hunger relief, education and helping people living with disabilities.
The grant program supports nonprofit organizations that strengthen neighborhoods in specific areas (ID, MT, WY, UT, NV, ND). It focuses on three priority areas: health and human services, supporting diversity and inclusion of all abilities, and youth and education. Under health and human services, it sponsors medical research, particularly in cancer, aiming to increase access to care, cancer trials, and preventative testing. In supporting diversity and inclusion, it funds organizations that help people with disabilities through access to camps, specialty services, employment training, and care. For youth and education, the grant supports K-12 education programs that boost test scores, classroom performance, and attendance, emphasizing safe environments and comprehensive learning. Applications are reviewed monthly, with a response time of 4 to 6 weeks after application closure.
Enhancing Your Application: Secure an Employee Sponsor
An effective way to strengthen your application is by securing a sponsor within your organization, such as a volunteer, board member, or beneficiary of your services. If you're unable to find a suitable sponsor internally, it's advisable to reach out to the Store Manager in your area to explore the possibility of them acting as your sponsor.
