If Fictional Characters Ran a Coffee Fundraiser

If Fictional Characters Ran a Coffee Fundraiser

If you could build your dream fundraising team from any fictional universe, who would you pick? We brewed up a list of characters who’d be total naturals at selling coffee!

1. Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation)

You know Leslie would have color-coded order forms, a themed coffee tasting booth, and a fully detailed fundraiser launch party complete with waffles and espresso shots. She’d raise twice her goal… and probably win an award for it.

Coffee fundraiser style: Overachieving perfectionist with a passion for community.


2. Ted Lasso (Ted Lasso)

Ted wouldn’t just sell coffee—he’d make everyone feel like part of changing the whole world. He’d write heartfelt thank-you notes with every bag and charm the entire town into supporting the cause.

Coffee fundraiser style: Optimistic encourager with a big smile and even bigger results.


3. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)

Fundraiser spreadsheets? Done. Custom QR codes? Already printed. Social media schedule? Scheduled a week in advance. Hermione would make sure your campaign was spellbindingly organized.

Coffee fundraiser style: Strategic, prepared, and always ahead of the game.


4. Moira Rose (Schitt’s Creek)

Moira would bring high drama and high fashion to her coffee sales, probably renaming the blends with over-the-top flair—like “Midnight Velvet Elixir” or “Brew of Euphoria.” And yes, people would buy just to hear her pitch it.

Coffee fundraiser style: Eccentric, persuasive, and unforgettable.


5. Olaf (Frozen)

Pure joy in a snowman-sized package, Olaf would sell coffee with his cheerfulness and smiling face! He’d probably get distracted trying to hug everyone, but his warmth (ironically) would win hearts and supporters alike.

Coffee fundraiser style: Delightfully enthusiastic, heartwarming, and impossible to say no to.
