Supporting Education One Cup at a Time

Many have experienced it: A big test is on the horizon and your coffee maker is working overtime as you cram to get ready. In addition to providing fuel for long nights of study, we are also proud to support continuing education opportunities through our coffee brands and in collaboration with key partners. Here are a few examples of how this commitment comes to life. 

• Our Café Bustelo^® brand’s continued sponsorship of El Café del Futuro Scholarship, a program that invests in the Latino community by awarding scholarships to college students at HACU-member institutions seeking a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. To date, $550,000 in college funds have been awarded to 110 Latino students nationwide.

• Our continued financial support of the UC Davis Coffee Center and its Folgers Analytical Chemistry Lab, providing the first university infrastructure in the nation to address the broad needs of the coffee industry through a holistic approach that advances coffee science and education.

• Our work with universities across the globe, ranging from Ohio State University and Case Western Reserve to the Technical University of Munich, to promote coffee education and research in areas including caffeine metabolism and gastric effects, coffee byproduct usage in other cutting-edge applications.

These few examples reflect how our commitment to our Thriving Together agenda comes to life across all aspects of our business. We appreciate our partners and all those connected to our business who help us support education with every cup.
