The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation announces that it is now accepting grant proposals for consideration of projects in the US, mainly in CT. The Foundation assists public charities with grants to help give others a chance in life.

The Foundation, named for the co-founder and president of the SUBWAY� restaurant chain, was founded in 1998. It was created to help charitable organizations give others a chance to help themselves - much like the chance Fred DeLuca was given 44 years ago. At the age of 17, a family friend, Dr. Peter Buck, gave Fred a $1,000 loan and the idea to open a submarine sandwich shop, which enabled him to earn money for his college tuition. That partnership marked the beginning of a remarkable journey, which has made it possible for thousands of individuals to build and succeed in their own business. SUBWAY� restaurants is the largest restaurant chain in the US and Canada, with more than 31,700 restaurants in 91 countries.
