Overview

The Tyson Foods Community Giving Grants focus on supporting community organizations through both in-kind and financial resources, aiming to improve community welfare and expand the reach of services like nutritious food distribution. A notable aspect of the grant process is the relationship management between Tyson Foods' plants and the community, where funding recommendations for community organizations come directly from the plants.
