About C&S Wholesale Grocers
C&S Wholesale Grocers focuses on hyper-local community support through a recurring Mini Grants program that provides small cash awards, modest product donations, and limited in‑kind printing to nonprofits working on hunger/food security, children and youth services, environment, and community improvement. Grants are targeted to communities within roughly 20 miles of C&S facilities (with special attention to Keene, NH and Brattleboro, VT headquarters areas) and are intended to fund specific projects, events, fundraisers, or publicity materials. The program is transactional and neighborhood-focused rather than large strategic multi-year funding.
Focus Areas
Local hunger and food security programs (food pantries, meal programs)Youth-serving projects and children’s programsCommunity events and local quality-of-life improvement initiativesIn-kind communications support: printing for events/fundraisersSmall product donations to support immediate community needs
Giving Approach
Monthly, open-application mini grants and in-kind donations (electronic applications due the 1st of each month). Typical awards are $500–$1,000 or equivalent in product/printing value; printing donations generally limited to one donation per organization per year and have a 2–4 week turnaround. Funding is place-based (within ~20 miles of C&S sites) and geared to many small, one-off community requests rather than multi-year grants.
