Ideal Applicant
A community-focused nonprofit operating in states where Dutch Bros has stores, especially programs serving youth, health, emergency relief, or local community needs; organizations with local ties or participation in Dutch Bros giveback events are the best fit.
Good Fit
- • Works in Dutch Bros’ service area or can demonstrate local impact in those states
- • Programs focused on youth development, health, food security, or emergency/community relief
- • Ability to engage with local Dutch Bros stores or participate in giveback days/fundraisers
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior collaboration with Dutch Bros or its foundation
Geography
Across the observed years the foundation funded organizations in many states (19 states in 2022 and 17 in 2023), showing a multi-state footprint even though the foundation is headquartered in Oregon.
Recipient Variety
Earlier years show broad giving to many independent recipients (199 distinct grantees in 2022 and 106 in 2023), although the latest year is an outlier with only two recipients and heavy concentration.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is mixed: 2023 had a high share of new grantees, which suggests new entrants are possible, but the public guidance states applications are 'by invitation only.' Based on that mixed behavioral history and the visible donation-request contact route, openness to unfamiliar applicants appears plausible but not openly advertised.
