Rooted in Hawaii's Coffee Tradition

The Hawaii Coffee Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and sustaining Hawaii's unique coffee farming heritage. Based in Kealakekua on the Big Island, we work directly with farmers, families, and communities to ensure that Hawaii's world-renowned coffee industry thrives for generations to come.

From the volcanic slopes of Kona to the highlands of Maui, Hawaii's coffee is unlike any other in the world. Our foundation supports the farmers who make this possible through education, grants, and community programs.
