Burlington's approach to community giving is built on local connection. Through the Burlington Stores Foundation, corporate donations, customer fundraising, and associate volunteerism, we direct resources and time to the communities where our associates and customers live and work, empowering people to live better lives and build brighter futures.

The Burlington Stores Foundation

The Burlington Stores Foundation, a private 501(c)(3), awards grants to nonprofit organizations across the country. What makes the Foundation's grant program distinctive is the role associates play in shaping it: associates nominate eligible organizations that matter to them, and nominated organizations may then be invited to apply and proceed through the Foundation’s review and approval process. By giving associates a voice in identifying organizations for consideration, the Foundation directs support to the communities and organizations our associates believe need it most.

Corporate Giving

Burlington contributes financially to organizations focused on education, workforce readiness, and community resilience, and donates merchandise to organizations that distribute goods to people in need. Through partnerships with nonprofits nationwide, we channel new, essential items to local communities through established distribution networks.

Customer Giving

Each year, Burlington invites customers to give back through annual in-store fundraising campaigns. Customers can choose to donate at checkout, and those funds go directly to Burlington's national charitable partners, including AdoptAClassroom.org and YouthBuild Global. Because these organizations operate through local chapters and community programs, customer donations help create meaningful impact in the communities where Burlington customers and associates live and work.

Volunteerism

Burlington fosters a culture of caring by giving associates the resources and opportunities to make a difference in their communities. Through a year-round volunteering platform, associates can connect to nonprofit organizations and volunteer opportunities aligned with their interests, location, and work schedules — making it easy to get involved and give back throughout the year.
