Do Good Donuts: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

We are doing more than just opening a coffee shop. We are establishing a new way to provide fulfilling and purposeful employment opportunities for young people with intellectual disabilities in their community. Do Good Donuts and Café is a startup social enterprise focused on training individuals between the ages of 18 and 28 who have intellectual disabilities to work in mainstream food service jobs. Through collaborations with community partners and corporate employers, Do Good Donuts will create a comprehensive program for each specific job role. Trainees will not only learn job readiness skills but also receive training for the specific skills needed to succeed in a real restaurant setting. This innovative approach will not only prepare our participants for successful employment but also enable them to work alongside their peers in the food service industry, opening doors to meaningful roles. Through our collective efforts, we aim to change society's perception of employment opportunities for young people with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

About FundedIQ's Do Good Donuts Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Do Good Donuts is left off this page rather than filled in.
