Fundraise with Good Coffee.
Families buy coffee they already drink every week, at the same price as our shop. Your school keeps 35% of every bag. We roast it fresh in La Mesa and deliver everything to campus in one drop.
A fundraiser families actually want to buy.
Candy and wrapping paper are one-time purchases. Coffee is something most households buy every week. That makes it an easy yes for parents, grandparents, neighbors, and coworkers.

Good to know
Is there any cost to our school?
No. There's no upfront cost and no inventory to manage. We only roast what your families order.
How does the money work?
Families can order on your school's own page on our website or turn in paper order forms. After delivery, we send your school its share of every bag sold.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver to schools and teams across San Diego County, including La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley, in one bulk drop sorted by student so pickup is simple.
When is the best time to run one?
Anytime works. The holiday season is especially popular because coffee makes an easy gift. Other good times are back-to-school, spring, and teacher appreciation week.
How much can a coffee fundraiser raise?
Your school keeps 35% of every sale, about $6 a bag. If 100 families each sell 3 bags, that's roughly $1,900 for your school. Use the calculator above to estimate yours.
Who is Common Good Coffee?

Is this just for schools?
No. Sports teams, PTAs, booster clubs, churches, and youth groups can all run a Common Good fundraiser the same way.
