The Starbucks Foundation Strengthens Canadian Communities with $1M+ in Grants Across All Provinces and Yukon
TORONTO, June 23, 2025 /CNW/ - The Starbucks Foundation announced today that it is donating over $1 million to local Canadian charities through its Neighbourhood Grants program, thanks to Starbucks partner (employee) nominations. This year's program benefits a record-breaking number of 425 charities from every province in Canada and the Yukon Territory. Every year, The Starbucks Foundation invites Starbucks Canada partners to nominate local charities to receive philanthropic support through the Neighbourhood Grants program to address causes they are passionate about in their communities, including hunger relief, uplifting families, addressing homelessness, empowering youth, and environmental stewardship. The program, now in its sixth year, shattered previous records with more than 7,000 Canadian partners submitting nominations in 2025. Leading with Partners, Giving Back to Local Communities At Starbucks, our partners turn everyday connections into lasting community impact. With Neighbourhood Grants, we celebrate that impact by supporting the local charities they care about. From large urban centers to remote rural towns, from bolstering food banks and supporting 2SlGBTQI+ communities initiatives to helping those experiencing homelessness, the Neighbourhood Grants program uplifts local charities in reaching the people and places that need it most. "At Starbucks Canada, we believe in the power of community and the incredible impact that our green apron partners can have when they're recognized and supported," said Lori Digulla, senior vice president and general manager, Starbucks Canada. "Through The Starbucks Foundation's Neighbourhood Grants program, we're proud to empower our partners to nominate a record number of charities across the country. This $1 million investment reflects our deep commitment to creating meaningful change, one neighbourhood at a time inspired by our partners." Last week, Starbucks rallied more than 14,000 North American Coffeehouse Leaders at Leadership Experience 2025 to accelerate its 'Back to Starbucks' strategy. With community in mind, Sara Kelly, executive vice president, chief partner officer, Starbucks Corporation, announced the impact of this year's Neighbourhood Grants. "The latest round of grants resulted in 56,000 nominations from partners across North America, with 85% of our coffeehouses having at least one nomination. At Starbucks, it's never just coffee; we are part of the communities we serve." Uplifting Canadian Communities With hundreds of thousands of Canadians visiting coffeehouses every day, it is Starbucks responsibility to contribute positively to the communities in which it operates from coast-to-coast-to-coast. The Neighbourhood Grants program helps build sustained local impact while inspiring partners to engage in their community all year long. Here's what these grants mean to some of the local charities nominated by partners. "We sincerely appreciate The Starbucks Foundation's commitment to helping those most in need. Programs like Neighbourhood Grants allow us to continue providing emergency support, serving hot, nutritious meals and vital wraparound services to people facing homelessness in Ottawa. Support like this not only nourishes bodies but also uplifts spirits and fosters hope," said Peter Tilley, CEO, The Ottawa Mission. "With The Starbucks Foundation's support, more young people facing adversity will experience the lifelong benefit of one stable and committed adult relationship, which is the most common factor for children who end up doing well," said Jill Zelmanovits, National President and CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. "We are grateful that 10 Big Brothers Big Sisters chapters across Canada will be able to uplift even more children and youth through mentoring. We applaud the over 70 Starbucks partners across Canada who nominated us for a Neighbourhood Grant." "The Starbucks Foundation's Neighbourhood Grants program is a testament to the power of partnership and compassion. With this support, we can continue serving the growing need and provide our community with nutritious, culturally appropriate food. It's heartening to know that corporate partners like Starbucks are committed to building stronger, more equitable communities," said Julie LeJeune, Executive Director, Fort York Food Bank.

How I quit my daily Starbucks habit that cost me $5,000 a year
For years, the single most important thing I could never do without in the mornings was a Starbucks macchiato espresso and a blueberry muffin. Every morning at 7:30 a.m., including weekends, I'd rush out the door with a half-done tie and a productivity podcast playing through my earbuds. I'd speed walk to make it to Starbucks before the line was too long. I became popular in the joint, and sometimes the servers would start my coffee order as soon as I walked through the door. No matter the chaos in my life, I always looked forward to Starbucks. My coffee delight didn't come cheap At $5 per cup and $3.95 for the muffin, I was spending about $63 the entire week on these Starbucks delicacies, give or take one rare Sunday when I'd sleep in. Every month, I was down $241 on coffee and muffins, and that was on the lower end. Throw in an iced latte or two every other evening, the occasional banana bread upsell, other friendly yet costly coffee meet-ups with friends, and we were talking close to $5,000 annually. The worst part is that I owned several functional coffee makers, including a French Press and a drip. They were gathering dust and judgment on my kitchen counter. Eventually, a combination of guilt and self-reflection changed my perspective, and I thought I would have been better off if I had saved the money. I've always had an annual personal saving goal of $6,000 to $7,000 that I hardly ever met, and I realized that if I could cut down my Starbucks expenses, I would come very close to attaining the goal. Plus, after much reflection, I found that it wasn't even Starbucks that had me hooked. It was the 10-minute walk that made me feel awake, excited, indulgent, and maybe a little bit seen. I figured if I could recreate these feelings, maybe I would bring my coffee makers out of retirement and keep my money in my wallet. As 2024 rolled in, I resolved to make my coffee at home to cut costs, and I've stuck to my guns. Here's how I did it. Step 1: I did the math and felt the pain I created a spreadsheet to tally all of Starbucks' receipts over a few months. I had figures like $240 in August, $300 in September, and so forth. In one brutal month, I spent $410. When I saw the totals adding up, my stomach churned. It was enough to put into a Roth IRA or spend on a vacation ticket to destinations I wanted to visit. There was something sobering about how much I was paying for a 15-minute delight. So I started thinking about what else the money would do for me. Step 2: I turned my kitchen corner into a coffee shrine I wanted a dedicated coffee shrine that would mimic the Starbucks ambiance. I cleaned my coffee makers, purchased nice mugs, takeout cups, and bought bougie beans. I went a step further to look up my favorite Starbucks coffee recipes on TikTok to ensure I had everything I needed. I didn't just want to make coffee, I wanted to stage it, and the kitchen corner felt like an upgrade. Step 3: I made it emotional I still battled with the Starbucks urges time and again. However, when I faced the urges, I jotted on my phone exactly what I was craving: was it a reward, comfort, or just the need to escape from morning meetings? I always wrote what mattered: "This $5 coffee will buy me 15 minutes of delight, and that will be $5 less toward my savings goal." It automatically made me rethink the transaction. Step 4: I strived for better mornings, not just cheaper ones I didn't want to give up my blueberry muffins. My wife looked up a couple of recipes, not only with blueberries but also banana oat bars and cinnamon. She made delicious choices most mornings and breakfast sandwiches on others. I had great food options, top-notch coffee beans, and extra time to spend with the family as I wasn't rushing to beat the line. It felt peaceful. The final step: I found accountability and have some fun To make it stick, I invite some of my friends to do weekly "coffee reset challenges", where they share their latest coffee finds and we even take pictures of our home brews to crown a winner. What I spend today I buy my favorite coffee beans at $12 a bag, which lasts two weeks. We also opt for homemade blueberry muffins, which makes my coffee ritual very affordable. And after throwing in other spontaneous trips I would make to the coffee shop and everything else I would buy, I significantly cut costs. I didn't quit Starbucks to be virtuous. I stopped because I could save the money and put it towards the future. I no longer miss it as much because I realized it was not really about the caffeine. I was looking for comfort and moments of peace, things that I now find at home with my family.
