“Never underestimate the power of a cup of coffee. It’s the engine that fuels my giving,” jokes John Sage, co-founder of Seattle’s Pura Vida Coffee.

John works with The Seattle Foundation to strategically direct where his giving goes. He appreciates the Foundation’s tailored approach to giving. “I think it’s great they don’t just deliver an ‘off-the-shelf ’ solution,” he says. This approach, combined with the ability to handle all the administrative paperwork, helps John give back to the Seattle community—a place that takes its giving as seriously as it takes its coffee.
