Papa Johns prides itself on being more than just a pizza company; it’s a brand dedicated to making a difference in communities across the globe. Our dedication to giving back is deeply ingrained in our company culture and is reflected in our commitment to youth entrepreneurship and food insecurity across the country. Papa Johns strives for every team member to have opportunities to support their community through our Team Member Grant Giving program. 

Started in 2023 by the Papa Johns Foundation, the Team Member Grant Giving Program empowers team members in our Restaurant Support Centers, Quality Control Centers (QCCs) and restaurants to nominate non-profit organizations that align with the Foundation’s focus areas: youth leadership and entrepreneurship, and food insecurity, to receive grants. We are happy to announce the following organizations received a grant in 2024: 

  • Americana Community Center
  • Falls Little League 
  • Brave Trails 
  • Our Giving Garden
  • No Kid Hungry
  • Communicycle
  • The Princess Program STEM
  • Atlanta Angels
  • Louisville Youth Group
  • A Hand Up Community Resource Center
  • Scouting America Troop 4G
  • The Lady Flyers

Jenn Garner, Sr. Director, Corporate Affairs & ESG, highlighted the program's success and the dedication of our team members. 

"We are thrilled to see the Team Member Grant Giving Program expand and make a greater impact each year,” Jenn said. “Our team members' commitment to supporting organizations they are passionate about is truly inspiring. By fostering this culture of giving, we are not only supporting worthy causes but also enhancing the sense of community and purpose within Papa Johns.”
