Learn more about our impactful programs:

DIVERSITY INSTITUTE enhances franchising’s diversity, equity, and inclusion by educating, engaging, and supporting potential franchisees from traditionally underrepresented communities.

FRANCHISE ASCENSION INITIATIVE provides an accelerated pathway into franchise ownership for underrepresented groups and economically disadvantaged communities by providing them with the education, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed.

FRANCHISE MEANS LOCAL is a national campaign shaping public perceptions of franchising by emphasizing the local, small-business nature of franchise ownership. Through storytelling, strategic outreach, and a national media campaign, this initiative amplifies the real stories of franchisees as essential community members and job creators.

VETFRAN educates veterans and franchisors about the unique match between the skills and aptitude of entrepreneurial veterans and the demands and opportunities of being a franchisee.

INNOVATIVE RESEARCH drives valuable, data-driven insights on the value and opportunity of franchising as a path to entrepreneurship and generational wealth development, as well as trends impacting the franchising business model.
