Donation Request
Since 1918, Stop & Shop has been committed to the communities it serves and "giving back" continues to be a strong part of our corporate culture.
From our corporate headquarters to our stores and distribution centers, we strive to be good community partners. Through our corporate donations we support organizations that matter to and support our customers with a focus on three major areas:
- Healthy Living (Nutrition, Exercise and Play)
- Hunger Relief
- Kids (K-12)
To apply for a donation please download the appropriate Application from this page (there are two, a very short application for requests under $1000 and a more detailed one for requests over $1000), read the instructions page carefully, fill it out completely and mail it to us with proof of your 501(c)3 status to the following address:
Public Affairs Department
The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company
PO Box 55888, Boston, MA 02205-5888
Please be very specific and fill out the application completely as we receive 75 to 100 requests every business day and we are unable to consider incomplete or incorrectly submitted applications.
Requests for less than $1000 are reviewed on a rolling basis, but must be received at least six weeks before a decision is needed. Requests for more than $1000 are reviewed monthly and must be received at least eight weeks before a decision is needed. Please plan appropriately if you have an upcoming event.
As of November 19 Stop & Shop will no longer be accepting donation requests for 2009.
In addition to our corporate charitable contributions, we continue to invest in our communities through our Triple Winner (Childhood Cancer) and Food for Friends (Hunger Relief) initiatives. We are also very proud of the Stop & Shop - Giant Family Foundation which proactively identifies and makes significant investments in nonprofits that are working to reduce childhood obesity across our footprint.
