Discovery 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.

To ensure we can support as many community organizations as possible, we limit our donations to 1 funding request, per group, annually. Please be selective about the initiative you feel is the best fit for Discovery Co-op’s support.

Discovery Co-op works hard to assist 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.
