Every cup funds a chapter.
We didn't start Grounds for Reading just to sell coffee. We started it because we believe the best mornings begin with a great cup — and that every child deserves to grow up knowing the same joy of getting lost in a story.
That's why every purchase you make here goes further than your mug. A portion of every single order is donated directly to literacy nonprofits serving Texas children, with no asterisks, no minimum order, no waiting until "we hit a goal." It happens automatically, with every bag.
How it works
When you buy any coffee, tea, or merch from Grounds for Reading, 3% of your order subtotal is donated to BookSpring — a Texas nonprofit that provides books and family reading support to children across the state. You can also choose to round up your order or add an extra donation at checkout.
Your purchase doesn't just fuel your morning. It stocks a bookshelf.
Watch the counter grow
This number updates in real time as orders come in. Every bag in that counter is a real child with a real book.
SHOP WITH PURPOSE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Every purchase you make puts books in the hands of Texas children. We partner with three organizations doing the real work: BookSpring, providing books and family reading support to children across Texas; Literacy First, delivering one-on-one tutoring to students in Central Texas schools; and Reading Is Fundamental, the nation's oldest children's literacy nonprofit. Every cup, every bag, every order moves the needle. One purchase at a time.
