Digital Editor Natural Grocers will donate 1% of all purchases on Feb. 28 to the College GAP Fund to provide scholarship endowments toward Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In honor of Black History Month, Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage is renewing its partnership with Jack and Jill of America Inc. (JJOA) in support of JJOA's College Graduation Assistance Program (GAP) Fund. Following Natural Grocers 2020's inaugural campaign, which raised more than $130,000, Natural Grocers will donate 1% of all purchases on Feb. 28 to the College GAP Fund, which provides scholarship endowments to students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs.) Every year, a number of seniors attending HBCUs are ineligible to graduate due only to small unpaid bills. JJOA's fundraising initiative and Natural Grocers corporate sponsorship assist HBCU students who are in good academic standing and on track to graduate but are faced with the ever-growing problem of tuition debt.
