If Not Us, Then Who? Our Giving Tuesday Gift to You...
Because some gifts aren’t donations, but seeds for a future we'll build together.
Dear Community,
There are moments in the life of a people
when a single choice
can turn a spark into a sunrise.
Moments when the future
waits at the door—
hands folded, head bowed,
whispering,
“Will you open for me?”
Today is that moment.
This Giving Tuesday,
we offer you something rare.
Not a plea,
not a charity call,
not a hand outstretched in need—
but a gift,
wrapped in the courage of our ancestors
and the hope of generations to come.
Today, for the very first time,
we are placing our entire EDGE Grant pitch
—our blueprint, our heartbeat, our proof—
in the hands of our community.
Not behind closed doors.
Not gated behind institutions.
But out in the open,
where it belongs.
Because this company—
this dream called BVP Coffee Co.—
was never meant to be built in silence.
It was meant to rise in harmony:
built by us,
owned by us,
sustained by us.
We do not ask you to simply give today.
We ask you to invest.
To plant a seed in soil you already tend.
To claim your stake in a story you already believe.
To step forward as co-authors of the very future
you’ve watched us brew with our bare hands.
For what is a dream
if the people it was born for
never get the chance to hold it?
What is a vision
if the community that inspired it
is left standing outside the door?
We refuse to let this be
a dream deferred—
wilting on the vine,
waiting for someone else’s permission
to bloom.
We are in our Testing The Waters phase on Wefunder.
We must reach our initial goal
to take this raise public—
to open the gates for the world
to witness what you’ve known all along:
that Black-led innovation
is not an exception;
it is a beacon.
That culture, technology, and community
are not separate lanes;
they are one braided breath.
That a cup of coffee
can become a vessel for jobs,
scholarships,
and generational wealth.
So today,
as you consider where to place your generosity,
we ask you to place your belief
where it has already been living—
right here.
Invest in the vision.
Invest in the people.
Invest in the future we’re creating—together.
This Giving Tuesday,
our gift to you is transparency.
Truth.
Invitation.
And the courage to say out loud:
We cannot do this without you.
Pull up a chair at this table of tomorrow.
Take your seat among founders and builders.
And let your investment
become the spark
that stirs our sunrise.
With gratitude,
The BVP Coffee Co. Family
For the culture,
For the community,
For the future.
