Community Involvement
Making your day and your world better.
At Caribou Coffee, we give back to our local and national communities
Who We Support
We choose to focus our charitable efforts on the following causes:
- Breast cancer
- Children’s literacy
- The environment
At Caribou Coffee, we feel a strong connection and commitment to giving back, locally and nationally. We know there are wonderful organizations and events that support many charitable causes. However, we’ve chosen to support the causes that touch us, and our community, most closely.
Caribou Coffee does not contribute to:
- Political organizations and/or capital campaigns
- Scholarships/fellowship programs
- Organizations requesting ongoing donations (for example, coffee for monthly meetings)
To qualify for a donation, your organization must:
- Have Federal Tax I.D. number
- Be located in a city or neighborhood where there is a Caribou Coffee location
What We Donate
We usually make donations in the form of coffee, coupon certificates for free drinks or free pounds of coffee, valid at Caribou Coffee retail locations. We generally do not grant monetary donations.
If you’d like Caribou Coffee to donate coffee for your event, please contact the Caribou Coffee location nearest to you, or fill out our online request form.
How to Request a Donation
