Java Momma Fundraising
No bake sale. No wrapping paper catalog. No boxes of unsold anything sitting in someone's garage until March. Just good coffee, tea, munchies, and spice — with a real cut going straight to your team, school, or group.
💸
No Upfront Cost
No inventory to buy, no minimum order to front. You share a link — that's it.
📦
We Ship, You Fundraise
Every order ships straight to the supporter who bought it. No garage full of boxes to sort and deliver.

Coffee, tea, munchies, and spice people were probably going to buy anyway — not another candle.

A Little Bonus
Upload your organization's logo when you apply, and if you're approved, we'll put together a Custom Blend just for your fundraiser — our smooth, unflavored medium roast, labeled with your name and logo, ready to sell alongside the rest of your fundraiser lineup. No logo? No problem — your fundraiser runs exactly the same either way, just without this one extra item.
Schools & Classrooms
Field trips, supplies, band and choir trips, class gifts.
Teams & Clubs
Travel costs, tournament fees, uniforms, equipment.
Community Groups
Local causes, community projects, neighborhood initiatives.
Fill out the form below to apply. Fundraising with Java Momma is about goodwill and community — not personal financial gain — and every application is reviewed before approval.
A Few Tips Before You Start
Step 1 — General Info
Basic info about you and your group. Nothing tricky here.
Step 2 — Campaign Description & Photo
This is the story people will see when they land on your fundraiser page — keep it warm and specific. A good description covers three things: who you are, what you're raising money for, and why it matters. Two to four sentences is plenty; this isn't a grant application.
Example: "[Org Name] is raising money for [specific goal — a trip, new equipment, supplies]. Every order placed through this page goes straight toward getting us there. Thanks for helping us out!"
This is also where you upload a photo. If you have a logo, upload it here — if you're approved, we'll use it to create a Custom Blend just for your fundraiser (see below). No logo? Any photo that represents your group works great too — a team photo, a mascot, whatever feels like you.
Step 3 — Dates
Most fundraisers run best somewhere between two and four weeks — long enough to reach your supporters without losing momentum. Three weeks is a solid default if you're not sure.
Step 4 — Participants
Optional, but helpful. If you've got a roster ready — a team list, a class list — add everyone now so each person gets their own personal link right away. No list yet? Add at least one name (yourself works fine) so your fundraiser has an active link from day one. Everyone else can register themselves later.
How Approval Works
Why we ask for a W-9
This isn't paperwork for the sake of paperwork — it's a federal tax requirement, and it's a genuinely low bar to clear. Any organization or individual Java Momma pays $600 or more in a calendar year needs a completed W-9 on file, and most fundraisers clear that on their own from a single campaign.
The form tells us your organization's entity type — for example, whether you're an incorporated nonprofit, a corporation, or an unincorporated group. That's what determines whether we're required to send your organization (and the IRS) a Form 1099-NEC at year end. Incorporated nonprofits and corporations are generally exempt from this; unincorporated clubs, booster groups, and individuals generally are not.
None of this changes your payout or how your fundraiser runs — it's strictly a Java Momma reporting requirement on our end. If you have questions about how it affects your own organization's filing, your treasurer or accountant is the right person to ask.
Fundraiser payouts are made by check once your campaign closes — same as we've always done it.
How much does our group actually get?
[X]% of every sale made through your fundraiser link, with a higher rate once your group crosses [$X] in sales. We'll confirm your rate when your fundraiser is approved.
Does our group need to be a registered nonprofit?
[Answer depends on the eligibility decision still open — see note below.]
How long does a fundraiser run?
[Confirm your current window — the old program ran three weeks; worth deciding whether that still applies with self-serve fundraisers.]
Why do you need a W-9 from us?
Because we pay your organization directly, the IRS requires us to have a completed W-9 on file before any fundraiser goes live, regardless of group size.
Can we get our own custom coffee?
Yes — upload your logo when you apply, and if you're approved, we'll create a Custom Blend just for you: our unflavored medium roast, labeled with your name and logo, at no extra cost. It's completely optional and doesn't affect the rest of your fundraiser lineup either way.
Do we have to pay anything upfront?
No. There's no inventory to buy and no minimum order to front — your group only shares a link.
