Elevates replicable grocery models


Advances capital pathways for community retail


Strengthens cross-sector collaboration


Supports national visibility and policy momentum


Sponsor Impact

Grounded in Operating Reality

A core element of the Summit is ensuring that successful grocers, non-profit operators, and cooperatives can participate fully.

Sponsorship support enables scholarship and participation assistance, ensuring learning is grounded in real operating experiences, not only in the perspectives of well-resourced actors.

Join us to identify what works, and scale it.
