Funding Guidelines
The Safeway Foundation supports non-profit organizations whose mission is aligned with our four priority areas of giving:
- Hunger Relief
- Education
- Health and Human Services
- People with Special Needs
The Safeway Foundation works with existing and new partners that we proactively seek out and identify as collaborators to achieve our mission and goals. Due to limited financial and human resources, we regret that we cannot accept or respond to unsolicited proposals.
If you believe your organization’s mission is aligned with our priority areas of giving, please send a brief letter of introduction to the appropriate operating area (see “Contact Us” for details). We will contact you if we are interested in receiving more information from your organization.
Non-profit organizations must be able to prove their non-profit status and must also serve the community where we operate stores.
The Safeway Foundation generally does not fund:
- Individuals and for-profit organizations
- Political organizations or activities
- Religious organizations for religious purposes
- Capital or building campaigns
- Advocacy programs
- Meetings, conferences or workshops
- Sports teams or athletic competitions
