In 2010, the nonprofit Humanity and Hope United (H&H) was born to help communities in Honduras by investing in the people as they work to create a sustainable future. President of H&H, Riley Fuller and Board Member, Ben Higgins were at dinner one night while in Honduras and found themselves in a conversation centered around sustainable fundraising. At the dinner they were asked what they would do if their fundraising for H&H ever ran out.
In the summer of 2017, Ben and Riley visited a coffee farm and saw firsthand how much effort and hard work went into each cup of coffee. Through this trip they began to imagine how coffee could be used as a fundraising tool for nonprofits. They envisioned that they could sell bags of coffee and donate the profits directly to nonprofits. Their vision didn't stop there. It was not enough for them to just donate profits, it was important to everyone that the coffee farmers are compensated fairly. After this trip they returned to The States and created the business they dreamt up. Generous Coffee was born. They pledged that 100% of profits from coffee and any other products would directly to nonprofits fighting injustice around the world.
Generous Coffee officially launched in January of 2018.
Today this for-purpose business that was dreamt up in Honduras is now giving back to communities located all over the world. Through purchases from Generous Coffee's online store, over $150,000 has been donated to nonprofits. On top of that, Generous Coffee has also been able to donate thousands of dollars in products to local shelters, schools, and first responders.
Generous Coffee is currently selling 10 different specialty grade coffee roasts that are proudly roasted from their own Roastery. The Generous Coffee team is able to source, roast, and ship all of their coffee from The Generous Roastery located in the heart of Downtown Warsaw, IN. Generous' President & CEO opened the Roastery in their hometown back in 2021. Since then it has been a hub for the community to gather and generosity to flow!
