We have mad love for our community. For years we’ve donated 5% of Eco Warrior sales to good people doing good things. The Eco Warrior Community Initiatives Fund was the natural next step. The goal has always been to provide funding & support to the wider community…and to hopefully create some awareness while we’re at it.
This initiative is completely transparent so you can trust 100% of the funds raised will be donated. We contribute 5% from all Eco Warrior beans & merch sales, and we also accept personal contributions at the checkout. Each quarter, we’ll introduce you to our current recipient & give you a wrap-up of the previous quarter to track our impact. Let’s do this!
streetsmart australia.
This Winter, we’re donating to StreetSmart Australia: a non-profit organisation supporting vulnerable people in Australia who are currently experiencing homelessness.
At StreetSmart, they believe it‘s a basic human right that everyone should have a safe & secure place to call home. They know ending homelessness will take a whole community response, so they’re constantly finding innovative ways to get people engaged.
We love that they keep it local: seeking out, supporting & partnering with small organisations and projects in the communities where the funds are raised. Since 2003, they’ve had a huge impact; distributing over $9.5 million in funds, supporting 921 grassroots organisations, donating 54,930 SleepSafe kits & providing 266,671 SmartMeals!
To learn more about StreetSmart and the impact they’re having, you can head straight to their website here.
As well as donating 5% of all Eco Warrior products & merch sales this quarter, we’ve also signed up as a roaster partner for their CafeSmart initiative in Aug for the 8th year running – stay tuned for updates.
qld & nsw flood relief.
Throughout the Autumn months, we donated to Givit Australia in support of people affected by the devastating floods in QLD & NSW.
Earlier this year, after days of heavy rainfall, tens of thousands of homes were flooded causing billions of dollars of property damage. Many people were displaced & sadly, 22 people lost their lives – our hearts go out to them & their families.
We decided to donate to Givit to ensure 100% of the funds we raised would go directly into the hands of those who needed it most.
We have been blown away with your generosity!! Click to read the wrap-up of total donations here. Or head to their website for more information & the services they offer here.
