Chobani Community Impact Fund

The Chobani Community Impact Fund awards grants to organizations, programs, and projects that promote food and nutrition security in Twin Falls and/or Jerome counties.

About the Chobani Community Impact Fund

Chobani is the maker of the #1–selling Greek yogurt brand in the U.S, and one of the fastest-growing modern food companies in the last decade. But the company is defined by much more than its growth and sales. To Chobani, the greatest thing it’s empowered to make is a difference.

By supporting impactful charitable projects and programs, volunteering its time, and donating its products, Chobani seeks to strengthen the communities its workforce calls home, improve childhood nutrition and wellness nationally, and help those in need.

Chobani has partnered with the Idaho Community Foundation to establish a Community Impact Fund that supports organizations, programs and projects that promote food and nutrition security in Twin Falls and Jerome counties.
