Some brands grant fee reductions or additional support to entrepreneurs from the BIPOC community, women or those who are LGBTQ+. Others champion diversity, equity and inclusion through their community engagement, services they provide, programs and strategies at both corporate and franchise tiers, representation within their executive team, franchise holders, workforce and beyond.
