What is the NACS Foundation?

In advance of Giving Tuesday, here are the foundation’s five pillars.

December 02, 2024

Every year, the convenience and fuel retailing industry donates more than $1 billion, plus countless hours and energy to advancing the futures of individuals and families in our communities. The NACS Foundation exists to unify and build on NACS members’ charitable efforts, to amplify the work being done in communities across America and to share these powerful stories.

Tomorrow, December 3, is Giving Tuesday, a day when millions of people contribute to the charities of their choice.

The NACS Foundation has five pillars, which align with members’ philanthropic priorities:

  • Response Relief: Serving first responders.
  • Future Fund: Funding scholarships for future industry leaders.
  • Neighborhood Nourish: Fighting hunger.
  • Tomorrow Thrives: Supporting healthy kids.
  • Community Cleanup: Keeping our communities clean.
