Recognized for its best-in-class approach to community investment, Albertsons awards grants on a cost-per-outcome basis, enabling the many community organizations that the company supports to focus on impact instead of overhead.

Last year alone, Albertsons raised $43 million to support cancer treatment and research, disaster relief, education, programs for people with disabilities and hunger relief. Through its Hunger Is initiative, and a little help from Versaic by Benevity’s grantmaking software, the company has efficiently mapped and matched a network of 250 nonprofits to each of its 2,300 stores across 34 states.

The outcome amounts to 70 million breakfasts to kids in need all across America.
