About the Initiative
Partners: Starbucks Coffee Company
The Starbucks Foundation turned its nearly 400,000 employees into a community intelligence network — receiving more than 56,000 nominations in a single three-week window and directing more than $25 million in hyperlocal grants to nonprofits that partners know and trust in their own neighborhoods.
Honored with a Silver Halo in Best Local-Impact Initiative at the 2026 Halo Awards at EFG2026 in Palm Springs.
