DUNKIN’ FOUNDATION
ACTIVATES $1.25
MILLION IN
EMERGENCY FUNDING
FOR CORONAVIRUS
(COVID-19) RESPONSE
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response
The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation
is activating $1.25 million in emergency
funding to support health and hunger
relief organizations on the frontlines of the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) response.
This includes a $250,000 donation to
the Boston Resiliency Fund which was
established by Boston Mayor Marty Walsh
to provide essential services to Boston
residents whose
health and well-
being are most
immediately
impacted by the
Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. The Dunkin’ Joy
in Childhood Foundation brings joy to
kids battling hunger or illness. Many of
the Foundation’s grantees, which include
health and hunger relief organizations,
are seeing a huge uptick in the volume
of clients they serve and are facing
unprecedented and costly challenges in
the wake of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic. Emergency grants from the
Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation
are meant to provide flexible funding for
organizations so they can apply for the
support they need.
“At Dunkin’, we care deeply about
the neighborhoods we serve. In these
unprecedented times, I want our
community partners to know that Dunkin’
has their backs,” says Dave Hoffmann,
Dunkin’ Brands CEO. “I’m proud that
our Foundation can make a difference
at the heart of the relief effort where our
communities need it most.”

Knowing hospitals are preparing for
unprecedented numbers and food banks
and pantries are experiencing disruptions
to their supply chains, volunteer bases
and delivery systems, the Foundation
has decided to open flexible funding to
respond to grantees’ needs. “Dunkin’ is
made up of thousands of independent
businessmen and women who care deeply
about the communities they serve and
demonstrate that care by supporting our
Foundation in addition to hundreds of
other local charities,” says Alex Smigelski,
Dunkin’ Franchisee and Co-Chair of the
Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation.
“The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood
Foundation has been working with
hunger relief organizations and hospitals
for many years, and we know that now,
more than ever, they need resources and
flexibility to be able to help those most
impacted by the pandemic. We are happy
to be able to give this support and want
to encourage everyone to step in to help
our communities during this time of great
need.”
Donations to the Dunkin’ Joy in
Childhood Foundation’s COVID-19
Emergency Fund can be made at
joyinchildhoodfoundation.org.
Nonprofits are invited to apply for a
grant at joyinchildhoodfoundation.org/
covid19grants. Grants will be reviewed on
a rolling basis and donations will be made
immediately upon approval.
