1. Starbucks Coffee Donation Request

Starbucks does not currently accept in-kind coffee donation requests. Their charitable giving—facilitated by The Starbucks Foundation—is instead focused on grants to local communities. Grants are focused on providing funding to projects that strengthen coffee, tea, and cocoa-producing communities. Such projects include microcredit initiatives, biodiversity conservation, sanitation projects, education, and agricultural training programs. Grants also go towards nonprofit organizations that employees are passionate about supporting.

2. Dutch Bros Donation Request

Coffee donation requests for Dutch Bros Coffee products must be recorded on a form on the Dutch Bros site, which should be printed and submitted to the Dutch Bros location nearest to you. While they won’t accept requests for monetary donations, you may request any “product-related” items from Dutch Bros; we suggest requesting roasted coffee, a Dutch Bros gift card, or the stainless steel and ceramic drinkware offerings from the Dutch Bros shop site.

3. Keurig Green Mountain Donation Request

The Keurig Dr Pepper brand that produces Keurig Green Mountain no longer accepts unsolicited coffee donation requests. Instead, they have initiated their own social good programs and partnered with select nonprofits like the Boys & Girls Club of America. They focus on funding playgrounds and supplying sports equipment, contributing nearly $40 million towards these youth causes as part of their Let’s Play initiative. They have also supported disaster relief causes and frontline workers with beverage donations.

La Colombe offers roasted coffee products to qualifying nonprofits, and will ship donations anywhere in the United States.

They have provided funding for school renovations, art classes, and other projects to support young students. On a global scale, the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has invested in sustainable farmer training and supporting growers with loans, schools, and free healthcare.

9. Philz Coffee Donation Request

Donation requests for Philz Coffee can be made by contacting the Store Leader of your local Philz Coffee, which you can find in CA, DC, and Chicago (IL). Philz accepts requests for donations of coffee beans.

Of the some of the most popular coffee companies, coffee donation requests are accepted by Peet’s Coffee, Folgers Coffee, La Colombe, Philz Coffee, and Dutch Bros. Whether you’re looking for brewed coffee drinks, roasted coffee, drinkware, or coffee-related merchandise for your event, we hope we’ve helped you narrow your search to companies that accept requests for in-kind coffee products.

Although some of the companies on this page have explicitly stated that they don't donate in-kind products, it's possible that local stores operate differently. It never hurts to call your local store to double check. Also, many local coffee shops not featured on this list will also donate to local nonprofits; if you have a favorite neighborhood coffee shop, it doesn't hurt to make a call to inquire if they donate.
