Have a Great Cause? Tell Us About It!

At Famous Dave's Detroit, we're fired up about supporting local nonprofits, schools, and community groups with our award-winning BBQ. If you're planning a fundraiser, charity event, or neighborhood gathering, we'd love to consider your request. This form should be sent to us at least 6 weeks prior to the event.

Please note: Not all of the requests will be granted a donation. We currently receive numerous donation requests from all over the metro Detroit area. We consider ourselves a good corporate citizen, who is willing to share our good fortune. As much as we would like to lend a hand, we can't help every cause.

How Our Donation Request Program Works

We receive many donation requests across Metro Detroit, so to keep things fair and effective, here's what you need to know:

• Lead Time: Submit your request at least 6 weeks before your event.
• Selective Support: While we truly care, we can't fulfill every request.
• Community Focus: We prioritize causes that make a real impact on the well-being of our neighbors and environment.

Why Famous Dave's Chooses to Give Back

Our roots run deep in the Detroit area, from Novi to Roseville, Westland to Taylor. We believe in giving more than just great BBQ; we believe in giving hope, connection, and support.

That's why we're proud to be active in programs like Operation BBQ Relief and to stand with local nonprofits making a difference in the lives of Detroit families.

To keep the program fair and community-focused, please review the requirements:

• Must be a registered nonprofit or community organization serving Metro Detroit.
• Requests must be received at least 6 weeks prior to your event date.
• Unfortunately, we cannot consider requests from individuals, for-profit ventures, political campaigns, or memorials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why do requests need to be submitted 6 weeks in advance?

We plan our community involvement carefully. The 6-week window ensures we can manage schedules, supplies, and provide the best experience for your event.

Why isn't every request approved?

We wish we could help every cause, but we receive many requests. To stay fair and effective, we prioritize based on impact, timing, and alignment with our community values.

What if I'm unsure whether my organization qualifies?

Go ahead and submit your request—we'll review it and let you know. Even if we can't say yes this time, we value the work you're doing for the community.
