EVENT SERVICES

Serious Coffee is always happy to be part of as many local events hosted by or on behalf of non-profit organizations located on Vancouver Island. In order to make the request process as simple as possible, we have created a request form (below) that is specific to those who want to serve our coffee at an event.

Event is hosted on behalf of a Vancouver Island-based not-for-profit organization.

* Serious Coffee reserves the right to deny any requests submitted and to discontinue support for an event for any reason.

Thank you for including us in your event planning and we wish you must success in your endeavours.

DONATION REQUESTS

From the start, we understood that the best way to say, thank you is to give back to local organizations who are working hard to better our communities. One of the many benefits of being an Island company is that we are able to join forces with our locally owned cafés to help you make a real impact, one community at a time.

Each year, Serious Coffee receives hundreds of requests for community support from a variety of organizations. Though each group is highly deserving, we are unable to support them all; however, we do offer an excellent solution through our easy to use and effective fundraising package. If you are interested in raising cash for your non-profit organization, please see our Coffee Bean Fundraising Package Introduction by clicking on the link. Note: Requests for cash donations will not be entertained.
