The Vienna Whole Foods Market is excited to be a part of our community. We budget every fiscal period to support non-profit organizations close to our store. Here's everything you need to know about requesting a donation.
5% Days
Every fiscal quarter Whole Foods chooses one day and one non profit organization and donates 5% of total sales to that organization. While any non-profit is welcome to apply, we do have guidelines for what type of organizataions and causes we support at different times of the year:
October-December: Hunger Relief
January-March: Organizations LOCAL to Vienna
April-June: Environmental Organizations
July-September: Kids and Healthy eating/Education
If you would like to apply to be a part of a 5% day, please do so by clicking on this link. We love to hear what you and your organization will do to make the day exciting and how you will work to drive people to shop at our store that day. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/donate
Smaller Donations
Not every organization will be able to receive a 5% day. We have a great program for providing donations of gift cards and products to organizations within our community all year long. Please allow for 30 days notice for a donation request. A donation request from past years is not a gaurantee that the donation will be fulfilled this year.

Helping Happy Hours
Our new Pub is a great addition to the Vienna community. Once a month we are excited to host a "helping happy hour" where a % of pub sales are donated to a non-profit organization. The event is posted on our calendar and the non-profit is encouraged to advertise as well. If you would like information on hosting a helping happy hour for your organization please fill out the form at this link and specify that this is the type of event you would like to have. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/donate
Important disclaimers
Whole Foods Market Vienna can only donate product and gift cards to qualified 501c3 organizations. Applying for a donation does not gaurantee that your organization will receive a donation. Our budget is limited every month. If you have additional questions regarding donations please email katie.wolffe@wholefoods.com.
