A non-profit affiliation, Starbucks Foundation, named the recipients of 10 grants worth almost USD 4 million. Each grant supports the Foundation’s established goal of supporting and empowering women and girls in coffee communities.
The Starbucks Foundation said the grant funding is expected to benefit more than 19,000 women and girls in numerous coffee producing countries, including Colombia, Costa Rica, Cote d’Ivoire, Guatemala, Indonesia, Peru, Uganda and Vietnam.
The organization has not specified the dollar amounts associated with each of the 10 new grants.
In a Starbucks Coffee Company announcement of the new grant awards, Starbucks Chief Social Impact Officer Kelly Goodejohn said, “While we have a responsibility to care for people across the entire coffee supply chain, we know that when we invest in a woman, there are ripple effects and positive outcomes for her family and the larger community.”
