Always remember that our goal is to help coffee people in need.
The donees must be:
- Coffee people
From cherry prickers to baristas, who work in the coffee industry.
- In need
They have REAL need for help
We don’t have strict rules because we want our partners to make the correct decisions, and we trust you. However, to make the evaluation process easier for you, we have some examples.
“I need a new hand grinder, and I think C40 is a good choice, and I really want one. Can you help me?”
No. We don’t provide financial support for purchasing purposes.
“I am working 6 days a week and 10 hours a day, but my salary is very low. Recently, I spent all my savings to help my parents… Can you help me?”
Yes. Maybe a few hundred dollars won’t make a significant change, but we are willing to help.
“I am competing in another city in three months as an independent barista. Unfortunately, my boss is not able to support me. I need some help with train tickets and hotels. Can you help me?”
Yes. We are willing to help cover some expenses.
“I am a cherry picker, I work seasonally on the coffee farm and the rest of the year I have to work in other jobs, but this year I don’t have anything, and I need to feed my family. Can you help me?”
Yes.
“There is a big coffee event in another city, I really want to travel there and see the events, but I am short on money. Can you help?”
We want to, but we believe other people need the money more than you, so sorry.
There are many situations that we cannot list here. We hope you get a general idea, we want to help the people who really need it. If you can not make the decision, please DM us on the Instagram group chat, or email us at info@notabarista.org.
