LOS ANGELES, CA - The Wonderful Company, one of the most philanthropic companies in the United States, is pleased to announce that its $1 million Wonderful Central Valley Community Grants application period is now live. Over the past 10 years, The Wonderful Company and its co-owners, Lynda and Stewart Resnick, along with their foundations, have awarded more than $8.5 million in grants to more than 142 nonprofits and 165 schools in the San Joaquin Valley.

Building on Wonderful’s long-standing commitment to supporting local organizations and schools in California’s Central Valley, these grants directly support transformative initiatives focused on health and wellness, education, recreation, community beautification, art, and social services.

Each year, The Wonderful Company, the Resnicks, and their foundations invest more than $35 million in community development, education, and health and wellness initiatives across the Central Valley and beyond. The Wonderful Central Valley Community Grants program is at the heart of the company’s ongoing commitment to being Wonderful Neighbors by supporting the communities where its employees live and work.

“Many nonprofits, particularly those serving in rural communities, face an uncertain financial future in today’s environment,” said Andy Anzaldo, chief operating officer of corporate social responsibility at The Wonderful Company, in a recent press release. “This is where private philanthropic investments like the Wonderful Community Grants program can make a crucial difference, supporting essential programs that residents and families rely on. There is no greater priority than ensuring the Central Valley remains a place where everyone can thrive.”

Organizations with programs serving the communities of Avenal, Delano, Del Rey, Firebaugh, Lost Hills, Mendota, Sanger, Shafter, and Wasco are encouraged to apply.
