The ConAgra Foods® Foundation's Nourish Today, Flourish Tomorrow platform is dedicated to raising awareness of the more than 12 million children in America who are at risk of hunger and don't have enough food to live active, healthful lives, and to aggressively pursuing sustainable solutions in the fight against child hunger. The Foundation is committed to building a community of people who are passionate about ensuring that all kids have access to the food and facts they need to eat nutritiously, live balanced lifestyles, and succeed in school and life. ConAgra Foods Foundation invests in national and local partnerships with high-impact, not-for-profit organizations, such as Feeding America® and Share Our Strength®, which take an innovative approach to addressing needs in the core areas of hunger and nutrition education.

We are leading the charge to raise awareness of the issue of childhood hunger in America—fighting to nourish kids' bodies and minds today, so they have the opportunity to flourish later in life. We're focused on ending child hunger and enabling nutrition education programs and services. We believe that it's not enough to simply feed those who are food insecure; it is also essential to provide tools and knowledge to help individuals sustain balanced lifestyles well into the future.
Since 1999, ConAgra Foods has provided more than 166 million pounds of food to families in need.
Corporate responsibility has always been a priority of ConAgra Foods. We want to make a deep and lasting impact on an issue that is important to our consumers, employees, customers, and communities: child hunger. We have a final end goal to end childhood hunger in America and educate more families about the importance of good nutrition.
ConAgra Foods has donated more than $25 million in grant dollars to support programs and initiatives that feed children and families in need.
Conquering childhood hunger can't be achieved single-handedly. We invest in community partnerships with high-impact, not-for-profit organizations, as well as pilot programs that take an innovative approach to addressing needs in the core areas of child hunger and nutrition education.
The ConAgra Foods Foundation awards grants to qualified charitable organizations in three funding categories: National Strategic Partnerships, Local Partnerships, and an employee-driven grant-making process, Nourishing Our Community Grants. Read our Grant Guidelines for more information.
