Global Community Impact Grants

Updated September, 2023

The Starbucks Foundation has over 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 a new Global Community Impact Grants portfolio designed to drive locally relevant impact in the communities where Starbucks operates around the world.  

To realize and scale the initiative, The Starbucks Foundation invites Starbucks licensees which operate the Starbucks stores across its three international regions – Asia Pacific; Europe, Middle East & Africa; and Latin America & the Caribbean – to nominate local nonprofit organizations for grants. These grants aim to support programs that create meaningful local or regional impact. As part of the initiative, Starbucks international licensees and business partners join The Starbucks Foundation in investing in local nonprofits, providing in-kind donations and engaging volunteers, for greater impact in addition to the grants. 

More than $7 million in grants awarded to over 120 nonprofits across 50+ markets

In 2023, The Starbucks Foundation awarded more than $2.8 million in grants to 90+ nonprofits across 46 markets 

More than half of all Starbucks global markets have participated in the Global Community Impact Grants program by nominating local nonprofit organizations. In its second year, The Starbucks Foundation awarded grants to over 90 nonprofits, totaling more than $3.8 million in value between grants and co-investment from markets. These investments will build on our commitment to supporting local communities with Starbucks presence.
