Community Initiatives
Partners Foundation
The Partners Foundation is a Domino's Pizza internal non-profit organisation established
to assist team members in time of special need or tragedy as a result of natural
disasters, unexpected afflictions, on-the-job accidents and other emergencies. Since
its inception, the Partners Foundation has helped many Domino's Pizza team members
and their families with financial, emotional, intermediary and advisory assistance
throughout New Zealand.
In the Community
Domino’s is proud to support communities across Australia and New Zealand everyday of the year.
Locally owned and operated, Domino’s strongly believes in giving back to Australian and New Zealand communities and lending a helping hand where we can.
While pizza is our first passion, helping communities in difficult times or times when they just need our support is at the core of our beliefs.
Our big heart is there in times of natural disasters – providing food for communities who are facing significant hardship, when local community groups, sporting teams or schools needs an extra hand to raise funds for a cause or when our team members and their families are faced with their own challenges.
In the past two years Domino’s has donated more than 20,000 pizzas and more than $500,000 back into Australian and New Zealand local communities through doughraisers, pizza and monetary donations.
Doughraisers
Doughraisers aim to support local communities by raising funds through the sale of pizza products on a particular day for a chosen charity, school, sporting or community group.
Doughraisers are ideal for local community groups, charities, sporting clubs and schools as they raise much needed dough, at no expense to the organisation and are a great way of promoting a cause to the local community.
Every Domino’s store is unique but here’s an example of how doughraisers work:
- Once a stores has agreed to run a doughraiser for your group or organisation, one day of the week, usually a Monday or a Wednesday night, is chosen as the doughraiser day
- On this day a pre-determined amount, usually $1, from every pizza sold goes directly to the chosen group or organisation.
If you’re involved with any organisation, be it a sporting club, charity, or school, and are looking for fundraising support, please contact your local Domino’s store on 0800 30 40 50 to find out more information about doughraisers.
Natural disaster food relief
Domino’s is committed to providing food for communities who have experienced natural disasters and have limited access to food. Where possible, our nearest functional Domino’s stores will fire up the ovens and call in the troops to make sure communities who have been hit hard don’t need to think about what’s to eat.
On many occasions our team members have been out to areas hit by natural disasters within 24 hours to delivery free pizzas to effected people.
With more than 530 stores throughout Australia and New Zealand, there is always a Domino’s store close by able to help a region in their time of need through the donation of pizzas to feed the local residents, emergency workers and volunteers.
Over the past few years Domino’s has been able to offer disaster relief to the victims of Cyclone Larry, the Brisbane storms in November 2008, the Victoria Bushfires in early 2009, the Queensland floods, Cyclone Yasi and the Christchurch earthquake in 2011.
Local sponsorship
Our stores across New Zealand are either locally owned or operated by franchisees and dedicated team members who live within the local community.
This means Domino's supports a great number of local sporting teams, clubs or groups with sponsorship throughout the year.
From ‘Man of the Match’ sports awards, to financial sponsorships our stores and team members are keen to help members of their community.
If you have a team, club or group which could benefit from a Domino’s local sponsorship please complete the application on the ‘sponsorships’ page of our website.
Our support
Right across New Zealand our team members support worthwhile charities and community groups.
