The Safeway Foundation supports nonprofit organizations whose mission is aligned with our four priority areas:

Hunger Relief
Education
Health and Human Services
Assisting People with Disabilities

To apply for a grant, you must fill out an online application. For grant requests that are national or multi-regional in scope, we review requests on a quarterly basis. Local grants are reviewed biannually. After the close of each application process, it typically takes us about 8 weeks to respond.

We have three funding streams: local community funds, requests brought forth by corporate employees (i.e. requests brought forth by an employee working in our Corporate Pleasanton office), and national funds. The online system triages the requests and sends them to the appropriate parties. Please see below for more details about each type of request.
