The Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation has launched its 2025 Grants Program, offering $3 million in funding to support local organizations advancing nutrition education, nutrition access, and wellness for children and adults in the communities where Sprouts operates. Over 500 local nonprofits will be selected to receive grants of up to $10,000 each.
“At Sprouts, our purpose is to help people live and eat better, and we’re proud to support the incredible work of local nonprofits who are doing just that,” said Jack Sinclair, Chief Executive Officer of Sprouts Farmers Market. “Through these grants, we’re able to support communities where our team members and customers live.”
Grant Categories and Purpose
The Foundation’s mission is to improve health outcomes by supporting nutrition education, nutrition access, and wellness programs. The grant funding will be available across three key categories:
-
Nutrition Education
-
Nutrition Access
-
Wellness Programs
“We know that small, local organizations are often the ones making the biggest difference,” said Lyndsey Waugh, Executive Director of the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation. “These grants are about supporting the amazing work already happening on the ground—from school gardens and cooking classes to mobile pantries and family wellness programs. It’s about meeting communities where they are and helping them thrive.”
Previous Successes and Future Growth
In September 2024, the Foundation awarded $4 million to 580 nonprofits and elementary schools focused on nutrition, health, and wellness. As part of a coordinated, same-day event, team members from all 423 Sprouts stores delivered live checks to local organizations. These grants are fully funded by the Foundation’s in-store Round Up program, where 100% of donations collected at checkout stay local to support health and wellness programs.
Since its inception in 2015, the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation has awarded over $35 million in grants. Each year, an estimated 3 million children participate in programs supported by the Foundation. Moving forward, Sprouts plans to more than double the amount of grant funding allocated in the coming year.
