Wendy's restaurants and franchise organizations in Chicagoland and NW Indiana support schools and non-profit organizations in their communities. The fundraising donations are funded through your local Wendy's. Please contact your neighborhood Wendy's for more information. All decisions are made locally. The Wendy’s Company, The Wendy’s Foundation and participating franchisees support a number of charitable organizations whose work is consistent with our charitable giving focus areas. We do not accept unsolicited charitable or philanthropic grant requests. Consistent with our values, we do not contribute to any organization that discriminates on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or any status protected by law.
