Real Good Giving
What It Is
Real Good Giving is our staff-led, democratically governed program that donates money, goods, sponsorships, or partnerships to local nonprofits. It’s one of the main ways the Co-op turns profits into positive impact.
Who Qualifies
Your organization might be eligible if:
You’re local. We define local as being located within 100 miles of the Co-op.
You’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Your project or mission is aligned with our values: food access, sustainability, local community health, education, etc.
How to Request a Donation
Complete the application below! It’s that simple.
Submit your request at least 30 days in advance of when donations are needed.
Please note: only one request per organization per year.
Deadlines & Review Process
The Real Good Giving cycle aligns with our fiscal year.
While past support might be considered, it’s not guaranteed that previously supported organizations will automatically receive support again.
By accepting a donation, you agree to co-marketing, including displaying the Berkshire Food Co-op logo on your materials and online, and us using your logo. We’ll also promote your organization and its work.
