Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Longo's

Longo Brothers Fruit Markets Inc. (Longo’s) is a Canadian, family-founded grocery retailer serving communities across Ontario with supermarkets, online ordering and a wide range of in-store food services. In addition to its core retail operations, Longo’s runs structured community investment initiatives that provide financial or in‑kind support to eligible organizations.

Longo’s operates a Sponsorship and Corporate Giving Program that supports registered nonprofit organizations whose work benefits the communities where the company operates. At the corporate level, this program channels charitable donations and sponsorships to causes that align with Longo’s community focus, using an online request process to collect and review applications.

Complementing this, the Store Community Giving Program is managed at the local store level. Individual Longo’s stores back locally-based events, schools, charities and community initiatives that have a direct, positive impact on nearby neighbourhoods. This support may include financial contributions, product donations or event sponsorship, depending on local needs and store resources.

Across both programs, Longo’s primarily assists registered charities, nonprofit organizations, schools and community groups active in the regions surrounding its stores. While detailed eligibility criteria and funding amounts are handled through the request forms, the emphasis is clearly on initiatives that strengthen local communities, reflect Longo’s values and engage residents where the company does business.

Through these giving programs, Longo’s positions itself not only as a grocery retailer but also as a community partner, using sponsorships, donations and partnerships to enhance quality of life in the Ontario communities it serves.
