Starbucks receives Silver Halo Award for Best Local-Impact Initiative

Starbucks is honored to receive the Silver Engage for Good Halo Award for Best Local-Impact Initiative. This recognition highlights the meaningful role Starbucks partners (employees) play in strengthening the communities they serve, both inside and beyond our coffeehouses.

A silver award trophy featuring a circular design with radial lines, mounted on a square base. The base is engraved with text indicating it is the "2026 Silver Halo Award" for "Best Local-Impact Initiative" by Starbucks Coffee Company and The Starbucks Foundation. The background shows a soft, neutral-colored curtain.
Two women stand on a red carpet in front of a backdrop featuring "The Halo Awards" and TikTok branding. One woman holds a trophy, while both are smiling. The backdrop has a decorative pattern above them.

Since 2019, nearly 200,000 nominations through The Starbucks Foundation’s Neighborhood Grants and Global Community Impact Grants programs have helped direct almost $30 million to nonprofit organizations and community resources across North America and more than 60 markets worldwide. Together, these programs bring to life the spirit of our Community Coffeehouses and reflect how partners make a positive impact in their own neighborhoods.

From addressing hunger and supporting under-resourced communities to uplifting youth, serving our communities is part of Starbucks ethos.
