Terms & Conditions

This service may allow you to schedule an event(s) at a Wendy's restaurant. You must submit accurate information and your event must be appropriate for a family-friendly environment.

Fundraising event requests are not guaranteed unless submitting organization (if accepted, "Organization") receives a confirmation email from Wendy's Company or a participating franchisee of Wendy's accepting the request. If a fundraising event is approved, the date and time approved (the "Event") will be referenced in the approval email, and the following terms and conditions apply:

If the approved location for your Event is a franchisee restaurant, you will deal directly with the participating franchisee for the approved restaurant location for all aspects of the Event.

All scheduled events are subject to cancellation by Wendy's and/or its participating franchisee for the approved restaurant location, at their discretion.

You will be provided with one electronic version of the Event fundraising flyer (the "Flyer") to the Organization for copying and distribution by the Organization as described below. The Flyer artwork, excluding the organization name and logo, is owned by Wendy's Company or its affiliates and may be used by Organization only as described in these terms and conditions.

All applications must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the intended fundraiser event date and formally approved. Organizations approved for a Wendy's Fundraiser will be notified by email. Wendy's will donate 30% of qualified sales (gross sales less taxes, discounts, and other typical overhead expenses) from the fundraiser directly to the organization where a Flyer is presented at the time of purchase as hereinafter described.

All organizations must be non-profit and have a valid 501c3 or a W9.

A minimum of $75 in qualified sales must be purchased to receive a donation check. Purchase of Wendy's© Gift Cards, retail items and delivery orders do not count toward the net food and beverage sales for the Event.

Wendy's or its participating franchisee for the approved restaurant location, as applicable, will mail a check to Organization for the total donation amount approximately 6-8 weeks following Event.

For a sale to be qualified, a flyer must be presented by either presenting the cashier a paper flyer or showing the cashier an electronic image of the flyer (via a smart phone/tablet) at the time of sale.

The Fundraising Day can be terminated for any reason without notice such as distributing flyers on the day of the fundraiser within the vicinity of the restaurant, i.e.; entrance, parking lot. All required documents must be complete and on file before a Fundraising Day can be confirmed.

All forms including the fundraiser request form, accepted agreement contract, and non-profit tax-exempt identification letter or W9 must be completed and on file before the fundraiser can be confirmed.

In connection with the Event, the Organization may use the name and logo of Wendy's and/or its participating franchisee for the approved restaurant location, as applicable, only to promote and otherwise factually describe the Event.

The Organization will make copies of the Flyer at its own expense. All other advertising costs related to the Event incurred by the Organization are also the responsibility of the Organization.

The Organization has the right, but not the obligation to: At its own expense, send Flyers to all supporters in the Organization's database, post to Organization's website, distribute to the Organization's employees, friends, families and members of the community to promote the Event. By participating in the Event and using the Flyer, Organization warrants and represents that distributing the Flyers as described in the prior sentence is not in violation of any terms of use, Organization policies or any other limitations on contact previously identified to such parties or in violation of any applicable law (including without limitation online solicitation laws and the CAN-SPAM Act and/or CASL, as applicable) and Organization agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Wendy's, its parent, affiliates and franchisees, and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any claims by any such parties related to any such contact.

The Organization also agrees to send an Acknowledgment of Donation for any donation received more than $250.

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.
