The Dunkin' Brands Community was created in partnership with the franchise owners of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins to support emergency response organization before a crisis occurs. The foundation's goal is to help ensure that those depended on during a disaster have the training, equipment and resources they need to rise to any occasion. The Dunkin' Brands Community Foundation helps to strengthen capacity and leadership for organizations that serve communities in times of crisis, from the people on the frontlines in the heat of a disaster to the silent heroes who rebuild communities after the limelight fades. Through its charitable grants and partnerships, the foundation helps emergency response organizations: (1) provide safety training to responders; (2) develop rapid-response preparedness plans; (3) update and improve emergency-response infrastructure; (4) purchase and maintain emergency response equipment; (5) raise public awareness of resource needs; and (6) encourage the public to get involved and show their support. The foundation supports emergency response organizations by providing financial assistance, building capacity, developing partnerships, encouraging volunteerism, honoring local heroes and much more.
