What is the Grubhub Community Relief Fund?
The Grubhub Community Relief Fund (GCRF) was established in March 2020 as a way to activate our more than 22 million diners to donate their change to support charitable organizations helping drivers, restaurants, and those in need impacted by COVID-19. We make it easy for customers to contribute through Donate the Change, where 100% of donations from our diners currently go to the GCRF. The GCRF donates funds to local and national organizations that support restaurants and drivers during this challenging time. Additionally, Grubhub+ (and Seamless+) members who opt-in to Donate the Change will have their donations matched by the company on Grubhub+ eligible orders. 

What is “donate the change” and how does it work?
Donate the Change is a Grubhub feature in which diners can opt-in at checkout to round up their order to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to certain causes and charitable organizations. Right now, funds are being donated to the Grubhub Community Relief Fund supporting charitable organizations that support drivers and restaurants impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

How have these specific organizations been selected?
We’ve assigned an internal task force responsible for working with local officials and experts, and for researching the range of organizations that have been either newly established or focus their efforts on supporting those impacted by COVID-19. Most importantly, we work to strike a balance between the communities we’re supporting (our restaurants, drivers, and diners in need), and both national and local markets severely impacted. We’ll continue to evaluate a variety of organizations as additional funds become available. 

Why isn't this available in my area?
We’ve worked to strike a balance between national and local organizations to ensure we’re supporting as many people as possible. If an organization specific to your city hasn’t been selected at this time, please email [email protected] as we’ll be selecting additional organizations to donate funds collected from the Grubhub Community Relief Fund.

When will this be available in my area?
We’ll have more to share on the next round of donations made from the Grubhub Community Relief Fund in the coming weeks, which may include an organization specific to your area. If you’d like to suggest an organization in your city for consideration, please email all requests to [email protected].
