Sisters’ Story Coffee is a fundraising initiative that intends to raise much needed funds for women’s shelters/transition houses and sexual assault centres, which may serve people across the gender spectrum. Most of the shelters serve women fleeing domestic violence, but we do not exclude other kinds of women’s shelters (such as for those in housing crisis or needing supportive housing) since these women have also commonly experienced high rates of violence.
The agencies receiving donations are autonomous from Sisters’ Story Coffee and our affiliates, and we can not issue charitable receipts on their behalf. We donate 15% of the online Sisters’ Story Coffee sales to these individual agencies, rather than larger umbrella organizations, so that buyers can have an immediate impact in their own communities.

Through a simple web search, we endeavour to confirm that each of agencies is legitimate and has a positive reputation within their communities when they sign on to become donation recipients. We can not confirm if they are incorporated or have charitable status, or exactly how they use the donations they receive. Typically these organizations are recognized to be legitimate by local community members and by their provincial associations.
If you represent such an organization, and would like to be a beneficiary of this program, please contact us.
