SUMMARY: The Hannaford Charitable Foundation provides financial support to nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the communities where Hannaford operates: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. The foundation supports organizations that focus on one of the following core components of healthy communities:
- Food - Safe, stable access to healthy food is a critical component of a healthy community. HCF supports programs that range from emergency needs and hunger prevention to investing in longer term solutions that will ensure safe, stable access to healthy food.
- Education - Hannaford is committed to preparing our customers and neighbors for success by helping to deliver strong programs to prepare people through all stages of life for success in education and readiness to enter the workforce.
- Health - We promote the health of residents in our communities through organizations that provide quality programs focusing on promoting healthy lifestyles and improved care. In determining which organizations and programs to support, the Foundation considers the impact and outcomes to the community, prior support, and relative uniqueness of the program versus others in the community. Preference for funding is given to those that have the potential of providing ongoing services for a large segment of our customer base.
Grants award amounts vary by project scope and size.
