Our Focus

The Pamida Foundation has two primary objectives:  Encouraging and educating youth and assisting people with disabilities and disadvantages through support of health-related organizations.  Pamida strives to build strong community partnerships with organizations that focus on these important issues.

Pamida considers one funding request per organization each calendar year, so that our resources can be shared with as many deserving organizations as possible.  The Foundation committee meets on a bi-monthly basis to review requests. 

• To be considered for a grant, organization must be a federally tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization, a school, a library, or a public agency.
• Applications for funding, along with required supporting documentation, must be received at the Pamida Corporate office a minimum of 60 days in advance.
• The Pamida Foundation focuses on organizations serving Pamida hometowns.  Organizations that do not fall into the geographic area served by Pamida will not be considered for funding.

The Pamida Foundation does not fund in these categories:

• Individuals requests for personal assistance or sponsorship
• For-profit businesses
• Religious groups for religious purposes
• School clubs or activities including athletic teams, sports events or booster clubs
• Advertising in event programs, yearbooks, etc.
• Political, labor or fraternal organizations
• Mass solicitations by national or international organizations
• Organizations that discriminate on the basis of sex, creed, national origin or religion
