General/Event Related Donations
Whole Foods Market Brighton receives many donation requests. We’d like to say yes to everyone, but that’s not always possible. So here are the criteria we use to make decisions about donations:
- We make donations to non-profit organizations only. In most cases, we prefer to support events or organizations that contribute to nutrition education and wellness or one of the following; Education, Environment, Food, Children, Sustainable Agriculture, or Organics.
- Requests must be received at least 30 days prior to the event.
- Rarely do we give a very large contribution to one organization, simply because there are many who apply and we would rather give to as many as possible.
- Donation requests are accepted online, phone requests may not always be granted.

5% Days
Once a quarter, Whole Foods Market Brighton contributes 5% of one day’s net sales to a Non-profit organization.. We work together with the participating group to promote the organization, finding fun and creative ways to generate sales the day of the event. The participating organization must have the capability to promote the event within their organization and out to the community via a newsletter, meeting, emails, press releases, social media, etc.
- On a 5% Day, the chosen organization will need to maintain a staffed information table throughout the day to allow customers to get to know and interact with the organization.
