About The NGA Foundation

As the 501(c)3 nonprofit arm of the National Grocers Association, the NGA Foundation supports the future of the independent community grocer through initiatives to develop more effective recruiting programs, enhance retention efforts, and bolster professional and leadership development opportunities for employees

Five Programmatic Pillars

Elevating and developing women and diverse individuals aids in employee retention and ensures retailers can best serve their communities.

Communicating the importance of the independent grocery industry to support recruitment and retention ensures grocers have access to qualified candidates to strengthen their teams.

Providing opportunities for students to develop solutions to real-world problems and connect with industry leaders benefits the industry by providing creative insight from the next generation. We also ease the financial burdens for students pursuing careers in the food retail industry through scholarships.

Developing talented and thoughtful leaders and equipping them with the tools to navigate a dynamic and changing industry is key to the success of an independent grocer’s business. 

Grocers have access to hands-on guidance to challenging issues in the marketplace today including nutrition incentives, healthy benefit cards, and SNAP Online.
