At Nordstrom, we have a long-standing commitment to supporting the communities we serve. This support takes the form of cash contributions, community partnerships and volunteerism. Our selected areas of focus are health and human services, community development, education and cultural enhancement. Nordstrom is also a strong supporter of United Way, corporately and through the generous contributions of our employees.
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for contributions, organizations must:
• Qualify for nonprofit status under the Internal Revenue Code
• Benefit the local communities served by Nordstrom
• Demonstrate sound and responsible financial policies and management
• Satisfy Nordstrom that the project is not an unnecessary duplication
We prefer our contributions be cash so that the charity receives the maximum benefit. For this reason, we do not donate merchandise, gift cards, samples or supplies.
As a rule, we do not make contributions for:
• Unrestricted operating funds of organizations already receiving funding from
United Way
• Funds for individuals
• Projects of a political nature
• Individual primary or secondary schools
• Scholarships
• Religious organizations for sectarian purposes
• Special-occasion or goodwill advertising
• Loans or investments
• Auctions, raffles or opportunity drawings
• Team sponsorships or fundraising competitions
• Production of films, videotapes, recordings, publications or displays
• Merchandise promotions
• Conferences or conventions
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
If the organization or program meets the eligibility requirements, please submit in writing:
• A concise description, including purpose and objectives
• Amount of request
• Proof of nonprofit status under Internal Revenue Code
• List of officers and directors
• History of organization
Most contributions are determined annually by the regional office. Requests must be received by November 1 for the following year. Organizations will be notified in January of the status of their request.
Contributions to a project imply no further commitment unless specifically stated at the time of initial funding. Please direct any questions, inquiries or applications to the location that supports your area:
