Skagit Valley Food Co-op Donation Policy

The Skagit Valley Food Co-op is proud to support and make significant contributions to local community

groups in a variety of ways, including our donation program. Although we would like to support every

worthwhile cause, due to the overwhelming volume of submissions, it is not possible to fulfill every request.

Our decisions are based on a group's consistency with the Skagit Valley Food Co-op Mission Statement, the

number of people who will benefit, as well as the funds available in our donation program's budget at the time

a request is received. Most donations will be provided in the form of gift cards or in-kind donations, but

exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.

We welcome your request, but we ask that you thoroughly review the guidelines below before making your

submission.

 Donation requests must be made formally using the Donation Request Form. You can submit it at one

of the front registers, attn.: Rachael Darden. You may also drop it off in person on the 3

floor of the

Co-op Building, room 301, attn: Rachael Darden.

 Donation requests will only be reviewed once per week. Requests made less than 4 weeks in

advance of the event will not be considered.

 All donations made by the Skagit Valley Food Co-op must benefit the local community.

 Only one donation will be made per year to any given organization.

 If the request is being on behalf of a non-profit organization, you must provide documentation of the

501C3 status.

 Public acknowledgement of our donation is kindly welcomed and appreciated.

 Requests made by any of the following groups will not be considered:

-Political candidates or organizations

-Third-party fundraisers

-Individuals/personal sponsorships

-Any organization that discriminates on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age,

gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or status in any other protected group.

 We reserve the right to make exceptions to the above guidelines at our discretion.

We will carefully consider your donation request and guarantee a response to all requests as they are

processed. Because of the overwhelming volume of requests, we must respectfully ask that you refrain from

calling or emailing to follow up on your request. We will contact you as soon as possible to let you know of

our decision.

Thank you for your interest in the Skagit Valley Food Co-op and the valuable work you provide to the

community!
