Donations & Sponsorships

Food Access First: Our Donation Priorities

The Co-op focuses its donations and sponsorship on programs that work to address food insecurity in our community and specifically alleviate childhood hunger.

Donation Request Guidelines

  • Submit your request at least 30 days in advance

  • Priority is given to organizations and events that strive to strengthen the local food system

  • 501(c)(3) non-profit status is required

  • Requests must be submitted via the form below — requests submitted less than 30 days prior to the event date will not be considered

  • Recipient organizations are eligible for a maximum of two donations per year

  • Although we would like to support every worthwhile cause, due to high volume and limited budgets, it is not possible for us to fulfill every request

  • Past support of an organization or event is not a guarantee of future support

  • For requests over $100: City Market budgets annually for larger sponsorships and donations. Our fiscal year begins on July 1, so larger requests must be made by May 30 of each year

The donations team meets weekly to review requests. Please allow 1–2 weeks for a response. Questions? Email donations@citymarket.coop.
