Taco Bell 基金会创纪录拨款 3,200 万美元：700 家非盈利机构受惠、加州 Fresno 县青少年俱乐部获 10 万美元
总部位于加州橙县 Irvine 市的 Taco Bell 基金会 10 月 21 日宣布，其社区拨款（Community Grants）项目今年拨出创纪录的 3,200 万美元，资助全美 700 家非盈利机构，受惠机构数量较去年增加 40%、多出 200 多家，拨款规模是三年前的两倍多。资金将用于青少年的教育、职业准备、导师辅导与青年赋能项目。
这笔钱主要来自顾客在 Taco Bell 门店、App 与官网结账时自愿「凑整捐赠」（Round Up）：顾客平均每次多付 43 美分，2025 年全年经这一渠道共筹得逾 5,100 万美元。受资助机构由各地 Taco Bell 加盟商提名，全国性伙伴包括 Junior Achievement、City Year 与 College Advising Corps，地方机构如芝加哥近郊的 Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley 获 20,000 美元。
加州同样在受惠名单上：基金会向加州中央谷地的 Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County 拨款 100,000 美元，用于其 8 个站点的教育、青少年活动与职业准备项目；此外，Minneapolis 一站拨出 177,000 美元，New Mexico 州 Farmington 的 Boys & Girls Club of San Juan County 获 100,000 美元。本周的「社区拨款庆祝周」期间，基金会员工还在橙县与 Orange County United Way 合作组装识字工具包。
基金会执行主任 Morgan Tabor 表示：「想到这一切始于粉丝在结账时多付一点点，看到这份善意成长为 3,200 万美元、惠及全国各地的组织，实在令人惊叹。」Taco Bell 基金会是 501(c)(3) 公益慈善机构，1992 年成立以来已触及全美逾 1,300 万名青少年，累计拨款与奖学金超过 2.78 亿美元。
Taco Bell Foundation Gives a Record $32 Million to 700 Nonprofits, Including $100,000 for Fresno County Youth Clubs
The Taco Bell Foundation, based in Irvine, California, announced on October 21 that its Community Grants program will award a record $32 million this year to 700 nonprofits nationwide, a 40 percent increase in nonprofit partners from last year and more than 200 additional organizations, with funding more than double what it was three years ago. The grants support education, career readiness, mentorship and youth empowerment programs.
The money comes largely from customers who choose to round up their Taco Bell orders in restaurants, through the app or online: fans donate an average of 43 cents per round-up, and those contributions added up to more than $51 million raised in 2025 alone. Local franchisees nominate the recipient organizations. National partners include Junior Achievement, City Year and College Advising Corps, while local recipients such as Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley near Chicago received $20,000.
California is among the beneficiaries: the foundation awarded a $100,000 Community Grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County in the Central Valley, funding education, teen programming and career readiness across eight club sites. Elsewhere, partners in Minneapolis presented a $177,000 grant, and the Boys & Girls Club of San Juan County in Farmington, New Mexico, received $100,000. During this week's Community Grants Celebration Week, foundation employees are also assembling literacy kits with Orange County United Way.
"When you think about how this started, with fans giving a little extra at checkout, it's incredible to see that generosity grow into $32 million for organizations serving young people across the country," said Morgan Tabor, Executive Director of the Taco Bell Foundation. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that has reached more than 13 million young people and awarded more than $278 million in grants and scholarships since 1992.
