Your Organization Can Partner with us
So, you’ve heard about Beloved Community Café—and you’re wondering what it might look like for your organization to partner with us. We’re so glad you’re here.
A growing number of churches and organizations have already joined this work, and together we’re building something bigger than any one group could do alone.
If you choose to partner with us, you won’t just be supporting the café—you’ll be part of a shared commitment to connection, belonging, and community.
Types of Partnership
Sponsor
Support the Cafe financially OR with donations of food and beverage (ask us for our current list of needs).
Minimum pledge of support is $200 a month or equivalent in donated goods or services. Sponsors also promote the cafe and its events.
Partner
Partners send us volunteers. Your volunteers can host open cafe hours, cook up an abundance with us on our cook days, represent the cafe at events like Pride, or assist with fundraisers. Ministry partners also promote the cafe and its events.
Minimum commitment is 20 volunteer hours per month.
Supporter
Can’t commit to either of the above? Not to worry! There are lots of other ways to support the cafe with smaller donations, smaller volunteer commitments, holding fundraisers for us, or even just visiting the cafe.
Mix and Match
Let’s say you can’t commit to 20 volunteer hours or $200 a month, but you could commit $80 and 12 volunteer hours? No problem!
1 volunteer hour = $10 in sponsorship. Feel free to mix and match to meet your commitment and be considered a partner.
Why Partner with us
When you become a sponsor, partner, or supporter, you can claim Beloved Community Cafe and its impact as part of your organization’s impact. It is always nice to say you are making a difference in the community!
If you are local business or community organization, your contributions to our cafe can help build your brand as a socially responsible organization giving back to the community.
If you are a church, we imagine you have frequently talked about the need to get outside your church walls and be in the community. Beloved Community Cafe gives you just such a venue to do so! You will hear stories, make connections, and have experiences there that will fuel the rest of your ministry. Who knows? Someone you meet there may even ask if they can come visit your church!
Who Do We Want as Partners
Our only requirement for our partners is that they be as committed as we are to creating a safe, loving, open, inclusive, affirming space of community for all people.
We want the experience of all who step into the cafe to be one of love and affirmation without pressure or judgement. That is why we are intentionally seeking out inclusive churches and community organizations who share our values.
