Register Round-Up (2024–2025)
WHAT IS REGISTER ROUND-UP?
By simply rounding their grocery bill to the next dollar, Portland Food Co-op shoppers have raised over $220,000 for nonprofits across the community through the Register Round-Up Program.
With a monthly rotating roster, 100% of all Round-Up donations go directly to a community-based nonprofit selected annually by our Member-Owners. From providing access to resources for immigrants during their transition into Greater Portland to supporting the local creative economy, Register Round-Up is another commitment the Co-op has made to serve better the community it calls home.
For 2024–2025, we will be benefiting twelve (12) non-profits, rotating monthly. Ten (10) organizations will be picked by Co-op Member-Owners, with two (2) organizations chosen by the Co-op for special partnerships.
Multiple nominations are allowed; refresh the page to submit additional.
