The Domino’s Pizza Partners Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization affiliated with Domino’s Pizza. The Foundation was established in 1986, with the intent of
helping team members in times of hardship and adversity, and its primary
funding is derived from the support of Domino’s Pizza and its team
members. Assistance is provided in
the form of financial help following on-the-job accidents, fire or natural
disasters, medical emergencies or the death of an immediate family member.
At its start, the Partners Foundation was the inspiration of a few
franchisees and corporate team members who felt strongly about “team members
helping team members.” Over the
years, it has grown to include a company-wide payroll-deduction program to
which thousands of team members donate – providing immediate financial
assistance to fellow team members in crisis around the world.
In 2010, Partners received 1,500 requests for assistance, and over $850,000
was given out to Domino’s team members.
Since its inception, the Foundation has provided nearly $11 million
dollars in financial assistance.
Partners Payroll-Deduction Program
Every
Domino’s team member can contribute to the Partners Foundation. To participate in the payroll-deduction
program, a form
is
completed that allows you to choose your individual donation level. You can choose any amount, and the
chosen amount is automatically deducted each pay period. Your donation will provide critical
financial assistance to Domino’s team members in need. Donations to the Domino’s Pizza
Partners Foundation are tax-deductible. Program participation is voluntary and
is not considered insurance, a benefit
plan, or a loan; assistance is not guaranteed and decisions are made based on
various criteria.
How to Apply for Assistance
Any Domino’s team member is eligible to apply for assistance, and you do
not have to contribute to the Partners Foundation to be eligible to receive
assistance. The types of incidents
that might qualify for assistance include on and off the job injury and
accident, illness, death, natural disasters (fire, flood, earthquake, etc.),
assault or robbery. Assistance may
be given in situations involving either a team member and/or members of their
family.
Apply by phone: Call
1-734-930-3297 or 1-800-284-0911 (follow the prompts) and your application
information will be taken over the phone.
Apply by
fax: Fax your request to
1-800-253-8182 and a Case Manager will contact you by phone to review your

How
is Financial Assistance Given?
A
Case Manager and the Foundation Director review each application for financial
assistance against established Foundation standards. Supervisors may be
contacted during this time to verify employment; otherwise, all requests to the
Partners Foundation remain confidential.
Decisions are usually communicated to applying individuals within 48
hours. When approved, financial
assistance is given in the form of a check to pay one or more outstanding bills
of the team member. The Partners
Foundation mails the check (made out to the creditor) directly to the team
member, and they are responsible for making the payment. Financial assistance is never awarded
in the form of cash directly to the applying team member.
