The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is proud to collaborate with a growing number of organizations to advance our work to find forever families for young people lingering in foster care across the United States right now. These companies have established a multi-year commitment to raise awareness of our mission within their network and give generously, such as through a percentage or point of sale programs.
Corporate partnerships have helped the Foundation serve thousands of children. These young people now have the best opportunity for a bright future with the support of a permanent family … because of our caring community of supporters.
For more information about partnership opportunities, please email Dean Bring, Vice President, Development at dean.bring@davethomasfoundation.org.
Partnership established 1992
For more than 30 years, the Foundation has had a special relationship with Wendy’s built on a shared commitment to achieving Dave Thomas’ vision that every child should have a permanent home and a loving family.
The Wendy’s Company — along with its franchise owners and operators, suppliers and distributors, employees, and customers — unwaveringly support the Foundation through events, personal gifts and in-restaurant campaigns.
Through this incredible partnership, the Wendy’s family has raised more than $340 million in support of the Foundation’s mission.
Partnership established 2024
Roof Maxx chose the Foundation as its select giving partner, generously pledging a portion of its annual gross proceeds to benefit the Foundation’s mission.
Inspired by a child who was without a permanent home, Roof Maxx owner Mike Feazel knew he wanted his organization to be part of helping find forever homes for children in foster care facing the same fate.
Today, Roof Maxx dealers across the United States are helping to raise funds and awareness about foster care adoption by educating their customers and inviting them to make a difference.
Establishing a workplace giving campaign is an easy and efficient way for employees to make a difference year-round through tax-deductible donations. The Foundation’s payroll deduction toolkit offers campaign resources and messaging to engage employees and educate them about how their generosity can change the life of a waiting child.
