Guidelines for Charitable Giving
MARTIN’S® Food Markets has a proud tradition of community service that dates back to our beginnings in 1923. While we are pleased for the opportunity to review your request for financial support, our corporate giving primarily focuses on two areas of support:
• Hunger relief and providing food for people in need
• Well-being of children
We ask that you send your request for support in writing, on your not-for-profit organization's letterhead (no faxes or e-mails, please) to:
MARTIN’S® Food Markets
Attn: Community Relations
P.O. Box 249
Carlisle, PA 17013
Please include all supporting documentation, including a copy of your organization's W9 form, if possible. All correspondence should contain your purpose for writing, the date of your event (if applicable), name, address, phone number of a contact person and what type of donation you are looking for. We request 4-6
weeks advance notice of an event.
MAJOR PARTNERSHIPS
If you are writing to seek major sponsorship for a program or event, or to develop a partnership with Giant, please be advised that our store promotional programs are planned a minimum of three months in advance.
ACTIVITIES WE CANNOT SUPPORT
As a result of the high volume of requests we receive and the limited funds that we have for charitable purposes, we are unable to make contributions for any of the following:
• Out-of-state or out-of-country trip expenses
• Assistance for individuals
• Third party donations (we prefer to make donations directly to charities)
Requests for Advertising:
All requests for advertising such as yearbooks, directories and program booklets should be sent in writing on your organization's letterhead to:
MARTIN’S® Food Markets
Attn: Community Advertising
P.O. Box 249
Carlisle, PA 17013
Please be sure to include the Community Advertising Form and a copy of the organization's W9 Form. We reuqest 4 weeks to process advertising request.
SOLICITATION
We do not permit solicitation on our property. However, we welcome nonprofit groups to submit requests for donations to our Store Managers or our Community Relations department.
