Our Commitment

Committed to community...

Our success is thanks to the communities that support us, and in return we aim to give back whenever possible. We strive to have a positive impact, both on the communities from where we source our coffee and the communities we serve.

Amongst our many locally based fundraising activities, we support a number of National and International fundraising projects.

16 & 17 October 2009 is the UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Gloria Jean’s Coffees is supporting Opportunity International Australia, a not-for-profit that helps people out of poverty by providing them with small loans to start a business, earn an income and provide for their families.

We sponsor over 300 disadvantaged children in Brazil, one of the world’s largest coffee-growing nations, through Compassion by providing nutrition, health care, and education.

We support Opportunity International, a not-for-profit global leader of microfinance and enterprise development services, who provide low interest loans to foster small business and cottage industries in Asia. This enables disadvantaged entrepreneurs to start or expand a business and work their way out of poverty.

Melissa Nassif, Jeans for Genes Campaign Manager said, “Gloria Jean’s Coffees Denim-strating Coffee 101 is one important initiative that is helping us work towards trying to prevent genetic diseases before they occur in children or, where that is not possible, to develop better treatments.”

Gloria Jean’s Coffees was the leading retail fundraiser for Jeans for Genes in 2008, raising over $90,000, and has now raised a total of $470,000 since it first began supporting the charity seven years ago.
