The world\u2019s largest pizza company has come up with a new initiative that might seem anything but cheesy to municipalities<\/a> across the United States.<\/p>\n

Domino\u2019s<\/a> is offering grants to towns to help fill their \u201ccracks, bumps and potholes\u201d and make their roadways smoother. The Michigan-based pizza maker said the program was started to protect carryout orders from roads that are in poor condition and in need of repairs. Grants for roads <\/a>can be found here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t stand by and let your cheese slide to one side, your toppings get untopped or your boxes get flipped,\u201d the initiative, dubbed \u201cPaving for Pizza,\u201d boasts. \u201cSo, we\u2019re helping to pave towns across the country to save your pizza from these bad roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Domino\u2019s \u201cPaving for Pizza\u201d grants have already been awarded to Bartonville, Texas; Milford, Dela.; Athens, Ga.; and Burbank, Calif. In Milford, City Manager Eric Norenberg said Dominos grants helped fix 40 potholes in 10 hours. Other towns will be considered for grants based on customer nominations.<\/p>\n

Potholes cause millions of dollars in vehicle damage, a large portion of highway deaths, and ongoing headaches for motorists and municipalities. But, a good portion of the nation\u2019s major roadways is beyond potholes. They are in such poor condition that many sections of interstates, freeways and major arterial roadways need to be completely rebuilt.<\/p>\n

Domino\u2019s is not the first fast-food chain to attempt this approach. In 2009, Kentucky Fried Chicken selected five American towns to receive between $3,000 and $5,000 to fix potholes.<\/p>\n

Libby Hikind, founder and CEO of GrantWatch.com<\/a>, said millions of dollars in grants are available for projects that address the nation\u2019s crumbling infrastructure. But, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the U.S. would need to spend\u00a0$4.5 trillion by 2025\u00a0to fix its ailing infrastructure;\u00a0$2 trillion of that\u00a0is for roads and streets alone.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has promised nearly $1.5 billion in grants to help rebuild highways, bridges and railroads around the country. However, those proposals are likely to be delayed until after the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Domino’s is determined to save a pizza, one pothole at a time.<\/p>\n

Municipalities, nonprofits, small businesses,\u00a0entrepreneurs and concerned citizens frustrated by the often-overwhelming process involved with searching for grants to support civic initiatives including infrastructure projects\u00a0can identify infrastructure grants<\/a>\u00a0that are easy to read and simple to comprehend at GrantWatch.com.\u00a0<\/em>Sign-up<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0receive the weekly GrantWatch\u00a0newsletter which features\u00a0geographic-specific funding opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n
