IMPACT
Through its impact work, Chobani focuses on many areas of need - especially related to ending child hunger -
including advocacy for free school lunches and anti-lunch shaming, donations to food banks, and the company's national
Food Access In Reach (FAIR) program, which was announced at the historic 2022 White House Conference on Hunger.
Chobani is continuously focused on leaving the planet a better place - and that includes donating millions of dollars
to its hometowns in New York and Idaho. Since 2018, the company has invested nearly $1.5 million to its Chobani
Community Impact Fund which addresses poverty, economic opportunity, and entrepreneurship. By 2027, Chobani
will have invested more than $1.4 million into its legacy Chobani Scholars program, which aims to increase diversity,
equity, and inclusion in food and agriculture. In 2022, Chobani
partnered with an HBCU to develop a scholarship program
supporting students majoring in food and nutritional science,
agribusiness and biological engineering.
During the pandemic Chobani donated and delivered 10.5
million products to schools, hospitals, first responders, and
food banks across 30 states.
Chobani is committed to hiring refugees and immigrants -
and is proud to support America's military families through an
