23 March 2023 - 12:00AM
FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc., a leading global
franchising company that owns restaurant brands including Johnny
Rockets, Fatburger, Round Table Pizza, Twin Peaks, Fazoli’s and 12
other concepts, is pleased to announce the official launch of its
newly formed 501(c)(3) charitable organization, FAT Brands
Foundation. Created to amplify the existing charitable efforts of
its 17-brand portfolio, the foundation will partner with local
non-profit organizations in areas in which FAT Brands has a
presence to provide essential programs to help families and
communities thrive.
“Giving back has always been a part of the FAT
Brands DNA,” said Jessica Wiederhorn, President of FAT Brands
Foundation and Head of Non-Traditional Sales and Partnerships at
FAT Brands. “With our company continuing to grow in size, we wanted
to take our charitable efforts to the next level by launching a new
arm that more broadly supports our employees and customers’ beloved
communities. We are excited to be officially live and to have the
opportunity to become more engrained with local non-profits that
are committed to making a positive impact in the markets where we
operate. Our mission is wide-ranging so we can meaningfully serve
each community on a local, specific level.”
The foundation was seeded with a $250,000
donation from FAT Brands upon its inception and will continue to
receive support from its parent company to further the directive of
the organization in the years to come. For non-profits interested
in applying for a grant or for those interested in donating to the
foundation, please visit www.fatbrands.com/foundation.
