Good Deeds Get Noticed

Recognizing community leaders in franchising

Know someone in franchising who goes the extra mile to assist communities and charities? Shine a light on his efforts with a nomination for a Franchising Gives Back Award. Nominations will be accepted through June 21, and the awards will be presented Sept. 9 in Washington, D.C. Franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers will be recognized as follows:

Spirit of Franchising Award

It recognizes an International Franchise Association (IFA) member whose charitable or community support program demonstrates the franchising industry’s belief in giving back locally. Nominations should point out how the member saw a need in the community and worked to meet it.

The Newcomer Award

This honor singles out a charitable or community support program launched between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2018, that has significantly helped locally.

Enduring Impact Award

To qualify, an IFA member must have been operating an outstanding charitable or community support program for five or more consecutive years.

Support Our Veterans Award

The winner will be an IFA member whose charitable or community support program has gone above and beyond the call of duty to assist people who have served in the U.S. military (or their families) and in doing so had a positive impact on the community.

Innovation and Impact Award

This award recognizes an IFA member who had limited resources but used innovation and ingenuity to achieve maximum benefits with its outreach program.
