Fuel the Shift

We’re building something better. Join in — donate, invest, or get involved.

Why We Ask for Support

This work is not free. But it must remain free of exploitation.

The Infrastructure We Need

To run courses, send kits, and build real trade alternatives, we need facilities, materials, storage, licensing, and people.
This isn’t just content — it’s logistics, tech, and labor.

Global Launch: The Better Coffee

We plan to launch The Better Coffee in 15+ countries each year — both online and in-person.
That means multilingual materials, platform fees, travel, and support for partners, like new The Places.

Ideas That Stay Independent

We’ve written guidebooks for 10 core courses, created Trainer Pathway, and designed a new coffee Standard.
But ideas don’t move on their own. We want to keep them open, fair-paid, and accessible.

Fuel the change — and receive something better in return.

Donations

We’re not asking for pity. We’re asking for participation.
Every donation, no matter the amount, helps build a better system — and every donor receives The Better Coffee Standard as thanks.

Your support helps us:

Keep some courses free or sliding scale
Translate and share resources globally
Build and ship new Kits
Pay the people doing the behind-the-scenes work — writing, teaching, organizing
Promote coffees produced in accordance with the Standard

This is how we grow — together, and with dignity.

🎁 As a thank-you, you’ll receive the full digital version of The Better Coffee Standard by email after your donation.

Our Goal

We’re raising $250,000 in 2025 to fund the next phase of The Better Coffee Endeavour.

This will help us:

Run more courses — online and in person
Create and ship new Kits
Translate materials into more than 10 languages
Support venues and trainers on different continents
Fund toolkits for Trainers and The Places
Keep basic sessions open and community-driven
Compensate those who do the work — fairly, regularly, and with dignity

Accountability

Every contribution matters — and every dollar will be accounted for.

We will publish a public report in 2026 outlining what your support made possible:

the funds raised, the projects completed, the people reached, and the assistance provided — transparently and honestly.

Partner with us — and help shape

the future of coffee.

Investment

You’re not just investing in Red Ink Coffee.

You’re investing in The Better Coffee Endeavour — a system of values, tools, and actions reshaping how the world understands, trades, and teaches coffee.

This isn’t a startup chasing hypergrowth. It’s an ecosystem — already alive — and growing.

Courses are running. Kits are being built. Standards are being adopted.

And Red Ink Coffee, like the old sister of many brothers, is connected to it all:

The Places. The Trainers. The Curriculum. The Change.

Mostly, we operate under a registered company in Poland:

The Place Katowice sp. z o.o.

A small legal base for something far-reaching, independent, and real.

We’re open to:

Mission Ally
Strategic investors and ethical co-owners
Impact funds, philanthropic capital, and ecosystem allies
Patrons of Pay-It-Forward
Sponsors of Camps, Kits, Courses, or global launches
Infrastructure partners — from production to education
The Places co-creators

Some help financially.
Others offer space, tools, or the means to make things happen — like roasting, packing, or hosting.
We welcome both.

If you're serious about doing good — and doing it well — we’d like to talk.
