Gift card donations go to selected charitable groups and events in the communities around each restaurant.

The company's Nourish program donates excess food from its restaurants to local non-profits and food banks.

A separate charitable foundation offers grants to non-profit organizations and volunteer time from staff.

To apply, The Cheesecake Factory asks for: Contact the General Manager at your local restaurant to ask about a gift card donation. · Giving is limited to the local communities each restaurant serves.

Tips from the program page: Gift card requests are handled by the General Manager at each restaurant, not by a corporate office. · The company's own page publishes no deadline, so ask the restaurant how much notice it needs.
