THE FOUNDERS CAMPAIGN

For almost two decades, we’ve been fortunate to grow alongside a region that has supported us from a small Bear River roastery into the Maritime brand we are today. This next step is about continuing that journey together by investing in rural manufacturing, local jobs and the long-term future of our region. Contributions will help build our new roastery while recognizing Founders through five tiers of meaningful pre-paid benefits, experiences and opportunities to be part of the future we’re building together.

Heartfelt thanks to the talented animator Garth Laidlaw for capturing our story with such warmth and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will my contribution help fund?

Your contribution will help Sissiboo Coffee build a new roasting and production facility in Annapolis Royal and support the continued growth of our locally owned Maritime coffee company. Every contribution also represents an investment in the vitality and economic future of our region.

Why are you building in Annapolis Royal?

Our new roasting and production facility in Annapolis Royal will give Sissiboo Coffee the space and capacity needed for the next chapter of growth while allowing us to continue building on the strong community roots we’ve established over nearly two decades in the Annapolis Valley.

Is this an investment in Sissiboo Coffee?

No. Contributions to the Founders Campaign are not investments and do not provide ownership or equity in Sissiboo Coffee. Instead, supporters receive rewards and benefits associated with their chosen pledge tier.

Is this a donation?

No. Your contribution supports the creation of Sissiboo Coffee’s new roastery and comes with rewards based on the Founder tier you select. It is not a charitable donation and does not provide ownership or equity in the company.

Can I contribute an amount that doesn’t match one of the tiers?

Yes. If you’d simply like to support the project, you can pledge any amount without selecting a reward tier. Every contribution helps!

Is there a limit to the number of Founders?

Yes. Each tier has a limited number of spots available, depending on the level. Once a tier is full, it will no longer be available.

How do I claim my rewards?
We’ll confirm your Founders membership via email once payment is received. Please allow up to five business days for us to prepare your reward. We’ll notify you when it’s ready for pickup at one of our café locations. Gift card delivery can be arranged. Please contact us at sales@sissiboocoffee.com to make arrangements.
What is included in the 10-year coffee subscription?
Members of The Decadent Decade receive coffee for 10 years. Those who pick up at a café receive four 454 g bags per month, while supporters who choose shipping receive three 454 g bags per month with free shipping included.
How does roastery credit work?
Roastery credit is issued as a Sissiboo Founders gift card in $600 increments. Depending on the tier, supporters receive more credit than the value of their contribution. Roastery credit can be redeemed for food, beverages, coffee and merchandise at Sissiboo café locations, and cannot be used toward the purchase of gallery artwork.
Can I redeem my roastery credit online?
Roastery credit for all tiers except The Decadent Decade can be redeemed at Sissiboo café locations only.
Can my Founders gift credit be delivered?
Yes. We are happy to mail your Founders gift credit to you. Please contact us at sales@sissiboocoffee.com to make arrangements.
Can I have my Brew Crew keepsake delivered?
No. Brew Crew keepsakes are available for pickup only at one of our Sissiboo Café locations.
Can I visit the café to become a Founder?
Yes. Our staff can sign you up for the Brew Crew and Roastery Founders tiers in person at the café. For all other tiers, please support the campaign online or contact us at sales@sissiboocoffee.com.
Can I pay by e-transfer?
Yes. E-transfer payments can be arranged. Please contact us at sales@sissiboocoffee.com for details.
Will my name appear publicly?
Supporters in eligible tiers will have their names listed on the Founders Wall at the new roastery. If you’d prefer not to be recognized publicly, please let us know and we’ll be happy to discuss options.
Can I transfer or share my Founders benefits?
Most Founders benefits are intended for the original supporter. If you have questions about a specific benefit, please contact us at sales@sissiboocoffee.com.
When will the new roastery open?
We’re working hard to bring the new roasting and production facility to Annapolis Royal as soon as possible. Founders will receive regular updates throughout the project, and eligible tiers will be invited to the grand opening celebration.
What if I have more questions?
We’d love to hear from you. Reach out to our team at sales@sissiboocoffee.com and we’ll be happy to answer any questions about the campaign, the new roastery, or the different Founders tiers.
