The purpose of the FRG Family Fund is to provide financial assistance to employees of the Flynn Restaurant Group who, through no fault of their own, experience unforeseen personal crisis or tragedy for which they lack sufficient funds.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided grants to 1,315 individuals (with an average grant of $1,164 per individual) that experienced a personal crisis or tragedy, such as a death in the family, illness or other hardships for which they lacked sufficient resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
