About Stater Bros Charities
Stater Bros Charities concentrates its giving on Southern California nonprofit work that supports hunger relief, children’s well-being, education, health, veterans, active service members, first responders, and pet well-being. Its largest recent grants show that mix clearly: $906,650 to City of Hope in Duarte and $250,000 to Loma Linda Univ Cancer Ctr in Loma Linda, alongside other high-dollar gifts to local health and community organizations. The charity’s public programs also show a strong local orientation, with Community Grants and General Grant Funding aimed at nonprofits serving San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Orange County. A separate Harvesting Hope campaign supports food banks and hunger-relief organizations in communities served by Stater Bros. Markets. Recent grant records include recurring support for health systems, hospital foundations, food banks, and service organizations, indicating a grantmaking pattern that combines one-time charitable contributions with repeated support to familiar local institutions. The recipient list is entirely U.S.-based, and most grants go to organizations in California.
What Stater Bros Charities Funds
Health and hospital support appear repeatedly in Stater Bros Charities’ grant history. In 2025, it gave $250,000 to Redlands Comm Hospital Fdn in Redlands and $175,000 to Dignity Health Fdn in San Bernardino, both listed as charitable contributions. Children’s well-being also shows up through medical support: LLU Childrens Hospital in Loma Linda received $120,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2023. Hunger relief is another clear thread. Feeding America Riv & SB Co in Riverside received $112,000 in 2025 and $130,000 in 2023, while Jacobs & Cushman SD Food Bank in San Diego received $100,000 in 2024. The foundation also supports veterans and service members, including a $220,000 grant to USO US Service Org in Long Beach in 2024.
How Stater Bros Charities Gives
Typical grant sizes sit at $30,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. That spread sits alongside much larger charitable contributions in the recent-grants list, showing a pattern that includes both moderate awards and major institutional support. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including City of Hope, Loma Linda Univ Cancer Ctr, Redlands Comm Hospital Fdn, and Riverside Univ Health System, which points to recurring support rather than isolated one-time giving. Stater Bros Charities is a public charity, not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its Community Grants program accepts unsolicited requests.
