Grants FAQ
Who is eligible to apply?
Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits operating in a community served by a Jack in the Box restaurant. Programs focused on food access, youth, workforce, or disaster recovery are prioritized.
How much funding is available per grant?
Grants typically range from $2,500 to $25,000 depending on the scope and reach of the program.
When are applications reviewed?
Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis. You'll hear back within roughly eight weeks of the close of each cycle.
Can a franchisee recommend my organization?
Yes. A recommendation from a local franchisee or employee strengthens an application, but it isn't required — nonprofits can apply directly through the consideration form.
