Coffee&Catharsis

— for the ones who believe people still show up for each other —

Back the work.

Coffee & Catharsis is building something rare — proof that people still show up for each other. We're growing into new rooms and new cities. Here's how to be part of what's next.

We've gathered with students and teams across multiple schools at New York University, Pace University, the NYPD, the Association for Talent Development, and AWS. Nine in ten people who come tell us they'd come back. A thousand cathartic cups of coffee, and counting.

ways to back the work

Pull up a chair, in the way that fits you.

power a gathering

Power a Gathering

Fund a full Coffee & Catharsis experience, start to finish — the space, the coffee, the napkins, the moment. Your name on a room where strangers become a community.

bring your craft

Bring Your Craft

Cafés, venues, photographers, printers, refreshments, creative studios — your work becomes part of the experience, in front of people who'll remember where they felt something.

institutional & foundation support

Institutional & Foundation Support

For foundations, philanthropic organizations, and mission-aligned companies investing in human connection at scale. Let's build something lasting together.

With thanks to Area 53, Cosy Corner Cafe in Cold Spring, and the venues who've held our tables so far.

Coffee & Catharsis is an independent initiative, not a registered nonprofit. Contributions are not tax deductible. What they are is direct: they go straight into the rooms, the coffee, and the napkins.

What you're building

More gatherings. More cities. More rooms where someone walks in alone and leaves feeling part of something. You're not funding overhead — you're funding belonging, at scale.
