Creating a Local Impact
Our story
It all started with us joking that our daughter's school would raise a surplus of money if they sent home a coffee fundraiser...
​
We then thought, what if we create a coffee company with the sole purpose of funding schools? That is when Local Impact Coffee was born. The idea is just like your local pizza shop’s school donation nights, but with something you’re buying anyway - coffee! We're proud to donate 50% of all profits directly to our schools, but here's the real kicker - we increase that by 5% every year, all the way up to a full 100%!
​
Our curated selection of specialty coffees, from the vibrant Ethiopian origins to the deep notes of Sumatra, is more than just about taste. Every bag signifies our dedication to fueling education, supporting teachers and faculty endeavors. By offering a streamlined fundraising platform, we alleviate schools from the stresses and challenges of traditional fundraising efforts, letting them concentrate on what truly matters: crafting our children's minds and futures.
​
Thank you for visiting.

A bit about our coffee
Each brew from our eco-friendly compostable bags offers more than just a morning pick-me-up; it's a passport to a global coffee journey. Our beans are handpicked from quaint farms worldwide, each steeped in its own unique character. And here's a nugget for the coffee aficionados: our beans undergo the 'washed' process. With washed coffees you get more of the coffee flavor rather than processed flavor, allowing the vibrant flavors to shine through.
​
When it comes to roasting, our 4th generation roaster has mastered the delicate art. The mission? To let the bean's innate narrative emerge, free from overpowering roast profiles. This ensures that every cup offers you a taste of pure authenticity — rich, sweet, and full-bodied, the epitome of coffee perfection.
​
If you've never experienced specialty coffee, you are in for quite the treat! If you already indulge in specialty coffees, you know that there's just nothing else like it!
