The Birch Bark Coffee Company Foundation Fund
Building a legacy
At Birch Bark Coffee Company (BBCC), our mission extends beyond coffee—it's about cultivating meaningful change and empowering communities. The BBCC Foundation Fund, inspired by the Seven Grandfather Teachings—Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth—embodies our holistic vision for impact.
Rooted in a deep commitment to Indigenous values and reconciliation, the Foundation Fund addresses critical issues like clean water access, mental health, youth empowerment, clean energy, and economic development. Together with our partners, we aim to create solutions that not only serve today’s challenges but build a brighter, sustainable future for generations to come.

Wisdom: First Peoples Innovation Centre - Empowering youth with technological skills.
Love: First Peoples Wellness Circle - Addressing mental health challenges through culturally relevant solutions.

Empowering change, one cup of coffee at a time
