It’s hard to believe another incredible year is already over! 2025 was a milestone year for Force4Good as we continued our mission of helping restaurants and nonprofits strengthen their communities through powerful, high-impact fundraising events. From supporting local schools and charities to fueling nationwide hunger-relief efforts, this year was all about showing what happens when businesses and communities come together for good.
And one highlight we’re especially proud of? Our annual 1% back initiative.
In 2025, Force4Good donated 1% of our annual revenue to Feeding America as well as a selection of nonprofit organizations chosen directly by our employees, reflecting not only our company values, but the passions of the people behind our mission.
Where We Gave Back in 2025
Fighting Hunger Nationwide: Feeding America
A portion of our 1% contribution this year went to Feeding America, helping to provide 180,000 meals to families across the U.S. Through its extensive network of food banks, pantries, and meal programs, Feeding America continues to lead the fight against hunger. Supporting their work aligns directly with our mission.
Employee-Selected Causes:
This year, we also invited our team to choose nonprofits that matter most to them personally. This allowed a portion of our donation to reach a wide range of causes, including:
- Education and youth development
- Community and family support services
- Neighborhood revitalization
- Local grassroots charities
- And more
By giving our employees a voice in where we give back, we ensure our impact reflects the diversity and compassion of our entire team.
As our co-founder, Steven Cook, shared:
“Supporting Feeding America through our 1% give-back aligns perfectly with our mission. Expanding donations to employee-selected nonprofits allows our team to champion the causes closest to their hearts. We’re proud to support both.”
A Year of Record-Breaking Community Fundraisers
While giving back is core to who we are, empowering local fundraising events is the core of Force4Good.
In 2025, our partners hosted more than 75,000 community fundraisers, helping raise funds for schools, clubs, sports teams, charities, and local organizations across the country.
These numbers represent more than dollars; they reflect families supported, programs funded, and communities strengthened.
Together, we’re rapidly approaching our goal of 1 million fundraisers hosted, a milestone we couldn’t reach without the incredible restaurants and nonprofits we partner with every day.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we head into 2026, we’re more energized than ever to continue building on this momentum. Our mission remains clear: make it easier for restaurants and nonprofits to connect, collaborate, and create meaningful community impact.
To every restaurant partner, nonprofit leader, and community member who worked with us this year:
Thank you. Your commitment fuels this movement.
Here’s to another year of giving back, building connections, and making a difference together.
