Dunkin' is donating $1 from every iced coffee and cold brew sold on Wednesday, May 27, to the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation, a charity that supports children battling hunger or illness.
Limited to a single day at participating Dunkin' locations across the country, the promotion marks the fifth edition of Dunkin' Iced Coffee Day, an event that has established itself as one of the chain's highest-profile annual charitable efforts. In 2025, the fundraiser brought in more than $2 million, money that went toward Signature Program Grants and a range of foundation initiatives such as Dogs for Joy, Dunkin' Prom, Dunkin' Connecting Joy, and Dunkin' Joyful Space, the company said.
"What starts as part of your daily routine can quickly become something meaningful on Dunkin' Iced Coffee Day," said Victor Carvalho, Dunkin' franchisee and Joy in Childhood Foundation Board Co-Chairman, in a statement. "When you stop in for your coffee, you're helping us turn everyday moments into joyful opportunities to uplift children and families in the communities we serve."
The Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation partners with food banks, children's hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations to fund programs and experiences for children in need, the company said. According to the company, cumulative giving through the foundation has surpassed $70 million distributed to hundreds of charities, both national and local, since the organization was established in 2006.
