Monetary companies that donate to fundraisers

18 companies in our monetary category have product donation programs for schools, nonprofits, and community fundraisers. Each listing explains what they give and how to apply.

Companies in the monetary category give money rather than an item: cash contributions, grants, or a share of sales from a fundraiser your group runs with them. You ask through an online portal, a letter on your organization's letterhead, or by signing up for a fundraising program.

The most accessible are fundraising programs. Chuck E Cheese hosts fundraising events for children's organizations and gives back part of the sales generated from the event. Popcornopolis lets eligible nonprofits sell its gourmet popcorn and earn part of the sales back. Stop & Shop Supermarket's community bag program gives part of each bag sale to a local nonprofit picked each month by store leadership, and 501(c)(3) organizations can submit to be considered.

For direct contributions, Delta Air Lines takes charitable giving requests from 501(c)(3) organizations through its online portal at least ninety days before the event, and says it responds to every proposal within four weeks. Ingles Markets reviews requests for specific community needs quarterly: send a letter on letterhead with proof of nonprofit status, the type and amount you are asking for, and how it will help the community. Sony Electronics takes written requests on letterhead. Bacardi USA considers online requests only for events that offer product sampling and fit its consumer audience, and only where that is legal.

Check that the door is open before you write: Verizon accepts new grant applications by invitation only, and the foundation behind Hilton Worldwide says it traditionally does not give grants for unsolicited requests. Tyson Foods and Payless ShoeSource Foundation give to 501(c)(3) organizations in their own communities. Tie your request to each company's stated focus and say exactly what you need and what it will pay for.
