According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Brand Development Fund contribution, referred to as the "Fund Contribution", is currently 1% of the gross revenues generated by the franchise. This contribution is due each week on the day that Degree Wellness specifies.
Degree Wellness retains the right to modify the Brand Development Fund contribution amount, but it will not exceed 2% of gross revenues. Franchisees are obligated to begin making Fund Contributions once their franchised business opens.
