Driven by mission.
Inspired by positive change.
PriceSmart Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and serves as the philanthropic partner for PriceSmart Inc, the largest operator of membership warehouse clubs in Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.
Our commitment to transform lives and communities started in 1982 with Price Philanthropies Foundation in San Diego, California. For more than 40 years, Price Philanthropies has focused its efforts on youth, community health, education, and work opportunities in the United States and has supported communities in Latin America and the Caribbean with programs like Aprender y Crecer and other initiatives.
In 2022, Price Philanthropies and PriceSmart, Inc. established the PriceSmart Foundation to build on this legacy. Through strategic grantmaking to local nonprofit organizations and collaboration with PriceSmart employees and other public and private stakeholders, the PriceSmart Foundation works to expand economic opportunity for underserved communities in the countries where PriceSmart operates.
