Giving back

Success worth sharing.

We believe in paying forward the good fortune we've received. Wherever our businesses operate, some of what we build goes right back into the community.

Our philosophy

Good fortune is for paying forward.

Giving back isn't a line item for us, it's a habit that predates the firm. We support organizations our people care about personally, from food pantries and rescue ministries to education foundations, and we encourage every portfolio company to champion causes that fit who they are.

Organizations we support
BNI Foundation William & Mary Foundation W4UA FranPAC Building Blocks India Griswold Weddington Church Western Carolina Rescue Ministries Annandale Church Glen Alpine Food Pantry S2S

The list keeps growing and our commitment gets deeper and deeper.

How we help

Ways We Help Brands Give Back

Generosity we've made standard, so it never depends on the year we're having.

Protecting & Communicating Brand Heritage

Carefully archiving a brand's heritage, and creating a "heritage room" at the home office to display the journey the Founder and brand have been on for decades.

02

Leadership Development at the Home Office

Implementing a case-based, immersive, and transformational year-long global leadership experience for up-and-coming leaders in the brand.

03

Community Action Days

Home office teammates together with franchisees and their teams, repainting schools and showing up for the neighborhoods they serve.

04

Emergency Relief Efforts

Leading early response efforts after natural disasters affect franchisees and their families, and helping them rebuild their businesses and their lives.

05

Special Situations

In franchising, brands are families. As situations happen from time to time in people's lives, our ethos is simple: "Right now, and right here, how can we help?"
