Community Impact Grant Programs

The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation recognizes the specific needs of hospitals and food banks to help support kids and families in the communities they serve. Our Community Impact Grants do just that, allowing our franchisees and employees to nominate organizations for grants that fund projects and programs specific to their individual needs.  

Regional Health Grants

The Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation provides grants to hundreds of local nonprofits every year that support kids battling illness. Child life programing is almost 100% philanthropically funded at hospitals, and regional grants help make programing like art and music therapy, yoga, and adaptive equipment that bring joy possible. Our Community Health Grant applications are by invitation only.

Regional Hunger Grants

The Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation helps fight food insecurity in a number of ways. The first is through the Foundation's support of Feeding America, to which it has granted over $6 million since 2015, funding programs and projects for children and families in its affiliate food banks across the US. Regional grant funding is also awarded annually to other mission-relevant organizations including food banks across the country. Hunger Impact Grant applications are by invitation only.
