Our Supporters

Without the support of our dedicated Franchisee partners, system vendors, employees, sponsors and restaurant guests, the Foundation would not be able to do the work that we do. In 2024, over $9.2 million was raised to support scholarships for high school students and employees throughout North America, literacy and education projects globally, and the BK Emergency Fund. With their help, we continue building opportunities for a better tomorrow for our communities.

In-Restaurant Fundraising

Each year, the Foundation holds four in-restaurant fundraising campaigns to continue supporting our programs. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and the efforts of Franchisees who motivate their employees, over $5.6 million was raised in 2024 through round-up, donation boxes and a coupon campaign across the U.S and Canada. The Franchisees below helped raise an average of $1,000 or more per restaurant to grant one scholarship for every restaurant they operate.
