What kind of organizations do you support?
If you are applying for a grant, we have narrowed the applications we consider to 501c(3) organizations that focus on health, hunger relief, education, veteran services and the wellbeing of children and their families. Our corporate donations process includes 501c organizations that support local community events in areas where we have a store. Unfortunately, we are not able to support fundraising for individuals, trips, beauty pageants or other events outside of our focus areas. If you have a question about your eligibility, please email [email protected]Which application should my organization use to apply for support?
A questionnaire following the login/account creation process should help you understand which application is the best fit for your organizations and BGC. Our Corporate Donation Application is used to evaluate whether our corporate office can provide the best means for supporting an organization that serves a community we serve. Chambers of Commerce, local civic and service organizations may apply for a donation using this form. In general, this application uses the information you provide to best support community events and local organizations around our market areas. Our Grant Application may be the best fit if you are a 501(c)3 organization with a mission supporting:- Health
- Child & Family Wellbeing
- Hunger Relief
- Education
- Veteran Services
