community donation requests

The Boise Co-op is proud to invest in a healthier, more sustainable community by supporting local nonprofits, schools, and grassroots organizations. Each year, we contribute over $45,000 in financial and in-kind donations to groups doing meaningful work in our region.

We focus our giving in four key areas:

  1. Local Food System Development

  2. Food Nutrition & Education

  3. Environmental Sustainability

  4. Community Building & Inclusion

If your organization is planning an event or initiative aligned with these values, we encourage you to apply for a donation.

Donation Request Guidelines

  • Submit your request at least 4 weeks in advance.

  • Preference is given to local efforts related to cooperatives, food, agriculture, or environmental causes.

  • Nonprofit (501c3) status is preferred but not required.

  • We support organizations, not individuals or scholarship funds.

  • National organizations are not eligible—our focus is on directly serving the communities where our Co-ops operate.

  • If multiple committees are involved in one event, please consolidate your request into a single application.

Please note: Due to high volume, requests are reviewed 1–2 times per month. Not all requests can be approved, but we appreciate your commitment to building a better community.
