Your community loves coffee.
Put it to work.
Fundraising doesn't have to mean selling things nobody wants. Starting Gate Coffee is something people actually look forward to, and your organization earns a percentage of every bag sold. No inventory. No awkward door-to-door. Just great coffee doing good things for your community.
Three steps and you're off to the races
Sign up your organization
Reach out to us and we'll get you set up. We'll create a custom link or code tied directly to your group so every sale is tracked back to you.
Share it with your people
Post it, email it, text it, put it in the newsletter. When your supporters shop using your link or code, you earn a percentage of every sale. They get great coffee, your organization gets funded.
We handle everything else
We roast the coffee and deliver it to your organization. From there, your team handles distribution to supporters. It's a true partnership — your organization earns its money by being part of the process, not just a name on a link.
If your community drinks coffee, this works for you
We've built this program to be flexible enough for just about any group. If you've got supporters who love a good cup, we've got a way to turn that into real money for your cause.
Schools & PTAs
Parents buy coffee anyway. Make it count for your school.
Sports teams
Booster clubs and team parents are a natural fit for this program.
Nonprofits
A recurring revenue stream your donors will actually enjoy contributing to.
Churches & clubs
Any organization with a tight-knit community is a great partner.
Coffee people are proud to share
There's a reason we built this into the brand from day one. We're a company with deep roots in this community, and we know what it means to show up for the people around you. When your supporters buy Starting Gate Coffee, they're getting something genuinely good, and they know it's going somewhere good too.
Every bag is small-batch roasted, measured for consistency, and delivered fresh. Your supporters won't just buy it once. They'll come back.
No inventory to manage
We deliver the coffee to your organization, and your team handles getting it to supporters. Simple and hands-on.
A product people want
Coffee is something your supporters already buy. Now it benefits your cause.
Repeatable revenue
Organizations can run their fundraiser once a quarter, bringing in revenue quarter after quarter.
Local roots, real people
You're working with a Louisville family business that cares about this community.
