Corporate Giving Policy

Thank you for including Ivar’s Restaurants as part of your fundraising efforts

We believe strongly in giving back to communities that have supported our restaurants and been our guests since 1938. The concerns we support are those that are important to those guests and to our employees. Ivar’s directs the donation of clam chowder and gift certificates to local food banks and community programs that promote the diversity, education, the environment, the welfare of children, and medical outreach, support, and research.
