Donation Requests
Effective October 2021; Revised April 2024
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the overwhelming amount of donation requests we are receiving at this time, please reconsider your donation request if you are not 1.) a current, active customer of the Reading Coffee Company (and are asking using a name you regularly make either store or online purchases under) and/or 2.) you are a local (Berks County) non-profit organization.
The Reading Coffee Company is pleased to contribute to our local community. All requests for donations must be submitted online through our online form (click here). We cannot accept requests made via mail, e-mail, social media, in-person, and/or phone.
To submit your request, please fill out the online form, after reviewing the guidelines below:
- All requests for donations must be submitted online, at least six (6) weeks prior to the requested need or event.
- Requests submitted less than six (6) weeks prior to the event will not be accepted.
- Event organizers should expect to receive their donation item within two weeks of the event date and not before.
- Requests must include 501(c)3 status information or the required background information on your non-profit or fundraising effort.
- Limit one request per event or organization per year.
- Requests MUST include an event date to be considered.
- After this form is completed and submitted, a determination will be made within two to three weeks.
- Please refrain from calling or e-mailing to check the status of the request.
- Although not all requests can be filled, we do personally review every completed request that is submitted.
The Reading Coffee Company is a family-owned business which receives numerous donation requests. We wish we could support everyone and every cause, but we’re simply not able to contribute to all requests. There are several organizations with which both our company and our team have strong ties over many years.
We also try, when possible, to support causes brought to our attention by our loyal customers – friends we have made who have supported our business throughout the years. Returning their loyalty and supporting their non-profit interests is very important to us.
We review requests on a case by case basis. We love to hear from our customers via e-mail, Facebook and Instagram messages, but we need you to complete the online form found here if you’d like to be considered.
