VBPS and Albertsons LLC



One of Albertsons Core Values is “Individually and collectively, we pledge to be active and responsible citizens of our communities.” We proudly support organizations in the communities where we do business with cash and products donated through our division offices and our stores. Albertsons LLC has a long history of supporting events and projects in our schools and communities. To better assist you, we are providing the following donation guidelines. The Community Partners Program is a way to reward organizations in the community for shopping at Albertsons. Organization supporters use a key tag when shopping at Albertsons to earn credit for the Organization.

How much can my Organization Earn?

Each Organization can earn up to $6000 a quarter or $24,000 a year
1% back on the organizations sales per quarter
5% back on sales over $50,000 per quarter
If a school spends $60,000 in a quarter they will earn the following:
$50,000 x 1% = $500 +
$10,000 x 5% = $500 = $1,000 total contribution

What Organizations are eligible to Participate?
All non-profits are eligible to participate. While we prefer that schools and youth organizations take advantage of this opportunity the community partners program is now available to pet organizations, environmental groups, and Habitat for Humanity just to name a few.
