Apply for a Nordstrom Grant
Nordstrom is dedicated to supporting causes that support youth and families. We award over $1
million in Community Grants each year across the U.S. as part of this commitment.
The Community Grants program is designed to support hyper-local grassroots organizations
addressing critical community needs within our focus areas of:
- Providing basic needs, food, shelter and clothing to fulfill the essentials necessary for families to thrive
- Creating opportunities for youth and families to achieve economic mobility, for example through workforce development training, mentorship, scholarships and grants
If your organization falls into either of these categories, we encourage you to apply. We accept applications Oct. 1–Oct. 31.
