Border Foods Gives Back: Community Grants Program

by

Each year, the Taco Bell Foundation donates money to youth-serving organizations in areas where Taco Bell does business. These contributions are made possible by generous customers, Taco Bell team members and franchise owners to support local charities.

Funds raised in local communities stay in local communities, bolstering the impactful work our partners are doing every day. -Taco Bell Foundation

Border Foods is honored to be a recipient of the Foundation’s community grants! With restaurants in six states, our giving is spread out across the country. While geographically diverse, one theme remains the same: We want to serve our communities through generosity. We’re so much more than tacos!

“As leaders in the QSR industry, it’s our responsibility to give where we can and support our communities.”
-Mollie Sommer, Community Engagement & Outreach Specialist

 

Our favorite local organizations received over $1.6 million in community grants. In total, Taco Bell Foundation gave out $23 million in grants! Below is a breakdown of the distribution of funds to our favorite local organizations. Thank you to all who helped make giving back possible!
