MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

Our Mission

The HatHats Foundation will fund individuals, not-for-profit organisations, local community causes and registered charities with causes close to the hearts of our employees and the communities our businesses operate in or relies upon through its supply chain.

The Foundation will connect with smaller, locally based organisations and individuals who desperately need funding, equipment, assistance or general support. 100% of donations are made to good causes, all admin fees and associated costs will be funded by HatHats Coffee Company Limited.
