Franchisee Giving
At DQ®, our franchisees make a difference in their communities.
In fact, the DQ® system has raised more than $180 million for local hospitals throughout our 40-year partnership with Children’s Miracle Network®. Every dollar raised at local DQ® restaurants helps kids in the local community who receive care through Children’s Miracle Network®.
Franchisees also partner in other ways to benefit their community. From sponsoring youth sports teams to donating Dilly® Bars to local nonprofits, DQ®restaurants give back to support our neighbours and local communities.

Since the first DQ® restaurant opened in 1940, giving back has been at the center of everything we do.
