Donation Guidelines

At Nestlé Canada, we direct our charitable and non-profit support toward programs and organizations in Canada that focus on increasing access to healthy food, promoting community well-being and improving planetary health. To ensure we are having the greatest impact in our focus areas, we work directly with our key charitable partners: Kids Help Phone, Food Banks Canada, The Grocery Foundation, Canadian Red Cross, and Ocean Wise. 

Occasionally, we also sponsor additional events or programs that align to our company purpose, as outlined above.

While we receive numerous worthy requests for donations, we are only able to support a limited number that align with our charitable vision and company purpose. Please ensure you provide up to 8 weeks' notice for the request of any product. If your project or event is related to the above areas, please submit the details to [email protected].

Please note: We follow a strict Responsible Marketing to Children policy. Our key focus is to ensure communication is reinforcing supportive role of the gatekeeper and encouraging healthy and balanced lifestyles, including educational development and sustainability messages. 

Nestlé Canada was a leading contributor in the development of the updated Code for Responsible Advertising of Food and Beverage Products to Children that was effective as of July 2023.

In following the Code and our Global Policy, we will not direct marketing communications to children under 16 years of age for products that do not meet the set nutrient criteria. We do not communicate in anyway to children under 6. 

We thank all organizations for their proposals, however only those approved for support will be notified.
