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 2007, Partners received 1,800
requests for assistance, and just under $800K was given out to Domino’s
team members. Since its inception, the Foundation has provided over $6
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 application.
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.
