For the 2022 granting period, the Simply Organic’s Giving Fund selected organizations that are working tirelessly to increase access to healthy and organic foods for communities in need, including refugees, communities experiencing the impact of natural disasters and families living in food deserts.
“At Simply Organic, ensuring access to responsibly-sourced organics is at the center of our mission and purpose,” says Katie Shatzer, Senior Brand Manager at Simply Organic’s. “As the prevalence of food insecurity has heightened over the last two years, the Simply Organic’s Giving Fund remains steadfast in its commitment to helping nourish food insecure communities in the United States and Canada by supporting organizations that provide access to healthy, organic food options.”
In 2001, the Simply Organic Giving Fund was established to support organic agricultural development around the world. In 2018, the brand turned its giving focus to the important work of supporting organizations dedicated to nourishing the millions of food insecure in the United States and Canada. Over the past 20 years, the Simply Organic Giving Fund has given more than $2 million to projects around the globe.
