Conagra Brands Foundation Awards Grants to 21 Local Nonprofits Through “Nourish Our Community” Program

The Conagra Brands Foundation has announced the 2025 recipients of its “Nourish Our Community” grants, awarding $330,000 in one-year funding to 21 nonprofits across seven states. In recognition of Hunger Action Month, a time when people nationwide unite to raise awareness and take action against food insecurity, these grants reflect Conagra’s commitment to driving positive social impact in the communities where its employees live and work.

For more than 30 years, Conagra’s Nourish Our Community grant program has empowered employees to play an active role in philanthropy by nominating nonprofit organizations that tackle food insecurity, cooking skills, nutrition education, healthy lifestyles and urban agriculture. Each application is carefully reviewed by a cross-functional employee committee that thoughtfully evaluates, discusses and selects the final grant recipients.

“Each September, our Nourish Our Community grants give employees a hands-on way to strengthen their communities, providing significant grants to support vital nonprofits that assist neighbors who may be struggling with food insecurity,” said Robert Rizzo, Senior Director of the Conagra Brands Foundation. “The program not only brings greater awareness to this critical issue but also channels funding to nonprofits that are driving real and lasting change.”

Hunger Action Month, a Feeding America initiative, calls on people across the country to take action against food insecurity in the United States. The Conagra Brands Foundation has a longstanding partnership with Feeding America, taking a holistic approach that combines employee volunteerism, product donations and cash contributions to address hunger on a national scale.

Through its philanthropic efforts, Conagra supports national research that deepens the understanding of hunger and its impact on vulnerable populations and diverse communities. The Foundation also invests in capacity-building initiatives that strengthen frontline hunger-relief agencies, enabling them to provide greater access to nutritious and culturally relevant foods. Beyond funding, Conagra donates substantial amounts of food, which are distributed through Feeding America’s network of 200 food banks nationwide.
