The Dave Thomas Foundation

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the number of children in foster care who find permanent, supportive adoptive families. Founded by Wendy's founder Dave Thomas, the foundation partners with communities to promote safe, timely adoptions, especially focusing on children waiting the longest. It provides resources, grants, and programs to improve adoption processes and raise awareness about the importance of family permanency. Their goal is to ensure every child has a loving, stable home, recognizing that family transforms lives and fosters lasting stability and well-being.
