Overview
H.E.L.P. Grants is a community initiative dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for children in the U.S. Founded by the owners of Figaro’s Italian Pizza, it aims to provide vital resources to local schools and non-profits, especially in communities where their restaurants operate. Since its inception in 2010, H.E.L.P. has been committed to combating educational disparities exacerbated by budget cuts, ensuring that every child has access to a quality education.
Help us HELP schools provide kids with a better education.
H.E.L.P. is an award-winning community and education initiative that exists to support learning through grants and fundraisers in your local community. Through its grant program, H.E.L.P. provides resources to U.S. based non-profit tax-exempt schools and other entities to support educational programs.
H.E.L.P. was born out of the desire of the owners and franchisees of Figaro’s Italian Pizza, to make a positive, long-lasting impact on the communities we serve. The worldwide recession caused many local, state, and federal governments to drastically cut the budgets at schools, with potentially devastating results. It was this need that drove Figaro’s Pizza and its franchise owners to conceive of H.E.L.P., the Charity. H.E.L.P. is ‘Helping Education with Love and Pizza’. H.E.L.P. was launched in late 2010 and has since grown by supporting public schools and non-profits.
