Registered 501(c)(3) organizations are offered the opportunity to fundraise in front of participating Harris Teeter locations. Fundraising events are not allowed in front of our stores in Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, the Washington Metropolitan Area or at our Distribution Centers. It is important to remember that Harris Teeter receives thousands of fundraising event requests each year.

Non-profit organizations must:
1. Submit fundraising event requests at least four weeks but no more than six months in advance of event date.
