The Sub-Zero Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Madison appliance manufacturer Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove, announced in a recent press release its new mission as well as its latest investments in the Madison area. Over the next two years, the foundation will commit $1.2 million to select nonprofit partners that align with its new mission to foster innovation in the food ecosystem through increasing access to quality foods and invest in organizations that contribute to lifelong health.
Since its inception in 1997, the Sub-Zero Group Foundation has invested more than $4 million in local community organizations. Its current funding focus areas include food security, community centers, and juvenile diabetes.
With the foundation’s latest initiatives comes a new partnership with the River Food Pantry, which serves over 2,500 individuals weekly, providing essential services like free groceries, prepared meals, and emergency food assistance. The pantry also redistributes rescued food and resources to local partners.
The Sub-Zero Group Foundation’s $500,000 investment will fuel the River Food Pantry’s significant expansion, nearly tripling its space from 11,000 to 32,500 square feet.
