This program also includes community sponsorships and gift card/product donations.

More information and requirements
Please note that someone on your group must have a Co-op membership to participate in this program, and that your group’s purpose should align with Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op’s values.
Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op, like other community-minded businesses, receives numerous requests for donations. Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks to review your requests and respond.
We work hard to assist in as many community organizations as possible, however due to the high volume of requests received, not all worthwhile proposals will be approved. Such a response does not reflect upon the value of your organization and the valuable service you provide.
