Building the next generation of leaders and helping them reach their full potential.
Papa Johns and Papa Johns Foundation are donating 10 million meals to those in need by 2027 through supporting organizations working to alleviate hunger and reduce food waste.
Collaborating with franchisees to support local communities.
Papa Johns Foundation for Building Community supports communities as they work together for equality, fairness, respect and opportunity for all. We believe empowered communities overcome divides through civility and unity. That’s why we support organizations that share our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and driving change in our communities.
Our philanthropic approach focuses on three areas that represent the purpose of our mission and reflect Papa Johns corporate values and expertise: Youth Leadership & Entrepreneurship, Food Security and Food Waste Reduction.
Papa Johns does not accept or respond to unsolicited grant proposals. Other requests in the form of sponsorships, in-kind donations, or other support from Papa Johns International or Papa Johns Foundation will be considered only if the request advances our strategic goals and objectives.
