Supporting Social Services, Youth Workforce Development, and Inclusion & Diversity in Europe, Middle East and Africa

The Starbucks Foundation has more than a 25-year history of investing in communities across the U.S. and globally. In March 2022, The Starbucks Foundation announced a $30 million investment by 2030 in its Global Community Impact Grants portfolio designed to drive locally relevant impact in the communities where Starbucks operates around the world.

In the third year of the Global Community Impact Grants program, The Starbucks Foundation awarded grants to 85 nonprofits, all of which were nominated by Starbucks international licensees and will reach communities in more than 46 markets. Between grants and co-investment from international licensees, over $3.2 million has been awarded in 2024 to date for causes aligned to The Starbucks Foundation’s community impact goals, including youth workforce development, hunger relief and economic opportunity, while also promoting access to human and social services, water and sanitation and greater inclusion and diversity.

In the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, The Foundation awarded 28 grants across 16 markets for causes ranging from social services to youth workforce development to inclusion & diversity. Grants were awarded in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Türkiye, and United Kingdom.
