Answers to your questions about applying to C&S for donation request.
Your first step is to take a brief eligibility quiz on our application. To request a contribution, your organization must be a federally tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) charitable organization, school, library or public agency and meet other criteria that are important to us. Meeting base eligibility criteria does not guarantee a donation or other award.
At C&S family of companies, taking care of our communities is at the heart of what we do every day. Our focus areas include Hunger, Heroes, Children and Sustainability. This strategy provides us with a roadmap of how we, as a company, can sustain and scale our commitments, predict and respond to emerging needs and engage our team members and communities in socially responsible ways.
*Exception: United Way agencies that focus on hunger.

Every other year. The reason for this is because we want to help as many groups as we can.
