Sanitarium Community Support Guidelines
Our mission..
We inspire and resource our community to experience happy, healthy lives
For over 100 years Sanitarium Health Food Company has been offering Australian communities healthy lifestyle choices with our range of products as well as free health advise from our team of professional dieticians and nutritionists. Our investment in the community is important and valuable to us - we take seriously the opportunities we are presented with to support the community.

In February 2004, we commenced our Good Start Breakfast Club program in partnership with the Australian Red Cross, to provide breakfast for kids at school in areas of most need. The Good Start Breakfast Club now operates in more than 100 schools around Australia and the teams of Australian Red Cross volunteers together with the support of Sanitarium, are making a significant improvement to the health and well-being of primary school aged children. In areas where the Good Start Breakfast Club operates school principals are reporting an increase in school attendance, police are reporting a reduction in crime and kids are learning new social skills. Sanitarium strong commitment to this program is such that we will not support breakfast program outside of the Good Start Breakfast Club. Please direct all breakfast program requests through to the Australian Red Cross. For contact details and more information about the Good Start Breakfast Club program visit www.goodstartbreakfastclub.com.au
Each year Sanitarium receives thousands of worthwhile requests, however we are unable to support them all.
Below is a list of guidelines that Sanitarium will use to assess any request received.
Timing
- Sanitarium already donates to a preferred list of charities and financially supports a selection of community projects. All donations and community project funding is already committed for fiscal 05-06. We are therefore unable to accept your request for financial support.
- All requests must be received in writing at Sanitarium six (6) weeks piror to your event date.
- Sanitarium endeavours to respond to all requests within 15 working days upon their written arrival to the Sponsorships Department.
Sanitarium will not support the following activities:
- School fetes, raffles, auctions, chocolate wheels or requests for Sanitarium product resale
- Sponsorship of individuals
- Projects outside of Australia
- Activities associated with gambling
- Any connection with alcohol or cigarettes
- Any connection with personal combat sports eg wrestling/boxing
Criteria
- There must be an clear fit with the Sanitarium mission (see mission above)
- All requests must be applied for in writing on a company/organisation letterhead or accompanied by a letter from the CEO or management endorsing your request. This is to minimise dishonest requests
- We aim to build a positive relationship with kids and grocery buyers
- We support projects with a healthy, active community focus
- Sanitarium is owned and operated by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church there for we will not support events requesting commercial or promotional assistance during the hours of Friday sunset to Saturday sunset
