Taco Bell Foundation executive director Lisa Lane Cardin said, “We believe that empowering young people is one of the most meaningful ways we can invest in the future.” She added, “It’s an honour to partner with these 500 nonprofit partners as they create real, lasting impact in the communities our fans, team members, and franchisees call home.”

Cardin emphasised the importance of community-driven change, stating, “This record investment is a testament to the power of community-driven change and the limitless potential that exists when we remove barriers and open doors.” The grants aim to uplift youth and provide them with the support they need to succeed in education and beyond.
