Dunkin’
Nationwide Coffee and Donut Company
Reason: Supports and donated to Trump
Dunkin’ is one of the largest coffee and baked-goods chains in the United States, serving millions of customers daily across its nationwide franchise network. The brand is owned by Inspire Brands, a major restaurant conglomerate with extensive financial resources, global supply-chain leverage, and significant influence over labor, food-service, and franchise policy.
Evidence & Context
Parent company: Roark Capital Group
According to Federal Election Commission filings compiled by OpenSecrets.org, Roark Capital Group’s donations during the 2024 election cycle included:
$1,500,000 to Sentinel Action Fund
$414,376 to the Republican National Committee
$398,257 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee
$32,948 to the National Republican Congressional Committee
$21,193 directly to the Trump Campaign (Donald Trump, Candidate R-PRES)
In addition, on April 14, 2020, Inspire Brands was listed among the corporations that joined then-President Trump’s “Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups,” a White House initiative advising on economic reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic.
These connections — including millions of dollars in donations to pro-Trump and Republican committees and participation in a Trump administration policy council — illustrate a clear alignment between Inspire Brands and the Trump political network.
For consumers who reject Trump’s policy agenda, nationalist rhetoric, and corporate favoritism, supporting this brand may indirectly reinforce those political and financial structures.
How to Boycott Dunkin’
If your investment portfolio includes exposure to Inspire Brands or Roark Capital Group, request that your fund manager reallocate to alternatives without ties to Trump-aligned or partisan corporations.
