A place where simple choices contribute to the wellbeing of people and planet

Kinfolk is the first not-for-profit café to be opened in Melbourne. It is a premium café, serving quality espresso and fresh, healthy produce, all the while redirecting its profits to various worthwhile international and local development projects! Kinfolk is located at 675 Bourke St, Melbourne CBD.

The not-for-profit café sits 45 people, and was created to provide a consistent source of revenue to YGAP’s many international and local projects. It is a profitable business, yet one that utilises its gains constructively as a vehicle to promote positive change, providing an avenue for city-goers to seamlessly integrate ethical consumption into their daily purchasing. Customers are given the opportunity to decide which project money is directed towards.

Kinfolk is also a space for celebration of the volunteer and a unique mechanism that links all walks of life together, united under the banner of ‘giving-back’ and innovation in ethical practice. Kinfolk provides opportunities for café patrons to connect with the people, the stories and the projects that they are supporting. Furthermore, Kinfolk offers an inviting, creative and sustainable environment that promotes cultural community interaction and dialogue about matters of social purpose.

If you would like to become a sponsor or supporter of the Kinfolk café, or should you require further project information, please do not hesitate contact the Coordinator below.

Watch this space for exciting Kinfolk updates!
