Donate

We rely on charitable donations—whether cash, in-kind or product—to support our mission of helping the foodservice and hospitality industry grow and thrive. Your donation helps us present a collective voice for today’s needs and a bright future for our next business owners.

Ways you can help:
  • Donate product, event space or talent
    ​It’s critical for non-profits to save every penny they can. This type of donation can be a win-win, giving you the opportunity to showcase your company while making a cashless in-kind donation.

Restaurant Advocacy Fund

Let’s face it—small business owners don’t have time to monitor every debate, discussion and proposal that policymakers develop. That’s where the Wisconsin Restaurant Association’s Government Affairs Team comes into play. Our experienced staff, along with a network of members that give guidance on issues critical to our industry, help educate and influence decisions that will determine the success of the small business community.  Our approach to working with government officials is nonpartisan.  We regularly communicate and meet with members of all parties.

Wisconsin’s Restaurant Advocacy Fund helps to:
  • Keep restaurateurs on top of changes in laws and regulations so you’re not in the dark 
  • Advocate for legislation that’s positive for restaurants and challenge legislation that can harm the industry​
