Donations & Sponsorships

How do I request a donation for my not-for-profit event from Tim Hortons?

For 40 years, Tim Hortons and it's store owners have practiced a philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we operate. As a company, our focus is on helping children and supporting fundraising events for non-profit organizations and registered charities.

For this reason, Tim Hortons does not sponsor individuals, those representing religious groups, political affiliates, book endorsements or traveling sports teams. Tim Hortons does not provide cash donations.

We ask that organizations requesting support provide a minimum of 10 weeks notice for donations and 12 weeks notice for sponsorships, prior to your event. Your request can be submitted through our online forms, found below. All information collected will be kept in confidence in accordance with our Website Private Policy.

Due to the tremendous number of requests received at both the store and corporate level, we unfortunately cannot participate in every opportunity but we thank you for thinking of Tim Hortons.

How do I approach my local Tim Hortons for a donation?

Many Tim Hortons store owners are involved in their community and are proud to support a variety of programs and events on both a local and regional level. Nearly 95% of Tim Hortons locations are owned and operated by independent business people, so the final decision to make a donation is at the discretion of the store owner.
