The Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation has announced the launch of its 2025 Grants Program, allocating $3 million to support local organizations focused on nutrition education, nutrition access, and wellness. Over 500 nonprofits will receive grants of up to $10,000 each. This initiative underscores Sprouts' commitment to community health and wellness, aligning with its mission to help people live and eat better.

The grants are categorized into three areas: Sprouting School Gardens, Growing Healthy Kids, and Wellness Across the Lifespan. These categories aim to support school-based gardening programs, children's nutrition access, and adult health and wellness programs, respectively. The Foundation's efforts are driven by the belief that local organizations play a crucial role in community health.

Last September, the Foundation awarded $4 million to 580 nonprofits and elementary schools, highlighting its ongoing support for nutrition, health, and wellness programs. The grants are funded through the Foundation's in-store Round Up program, where 100% of donations stay local. Since 2015, the Foundation has awarded over $35 million in grants, impacting an estimated 3 million children annually.

Applications for the 2025 Grants Program are open until June 18, 2025. This initiative not only supports community health but also enhances Sprouts' reputation as a socially responsible company, potentially attracting socially conscious investors and customers. The Foundation's efforts to double its grant programs in the coming year further demonstrate its long-term commitment to community wellness.
