Literacy
BOOK IT!
The Pizza Hut Book It! Program launched in 1984 and over 35 years later, the program is still going strong. Teachers love the program because it helps motivate students to read more books.
Teachers set reading goals for students in the class. Students who reach their monthly goal, receive a Reading Award Certificate, redeemable for a free one-topping Personal Pan Pizza. Students can earn up to 6 Reading Award Certificates each school year. That's a lot of pizza!

Taco Bell Foundation
Taco Bell is proud to support the communities where we operate. The Taco Bell Foundation was founded in 1992 and today is focused on youth empowerment by helping young people explore their career passion with scholarships, experience and community support. Funds are raised during select periods via national Taco Bell fundraisers like “Round Up” where customers can donate a small amount by rounding up their check to the nearest dollar. These small donations add up quickly and fund valuable scholarships to many future leaders. By 2021, the Taco Bell Foundation will have awarded more than 110 million in Live Mas Scholarships and grants to support nonprofits focused on education and career readiness.
