I found this article interesting about a group of Boston Pizza franchsiees and their fundraising goals. Even if the franchisees do not have the funds to make significant contributions to charities, organizing or participating in charity events by providing products and services is usually an efficient deductible expense that can be more effective that advertising.
The Enrights’ restaurants have raised more than $600,000 for the Boston Pizza Foundation since 1999 through various fundraising initiatives and partnerships with local businesses.
In the past two years alone, their 10 restaurants across Winnipeg have raised more than $300,000 for the BP Foundation through its Valentine’s Day promotion.

Richard and Kim Enright and their franchisee partners have also developed a $100,000 scholarship endowment fund for the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Education.
Their Garden City location’s “Celebrity Server Night” featuring the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Winnipeg Goldeyes, Team Canada athletes and entertainers, raised more than $5,000 for the Seven Oaks General Hospital Foundation.
