Partnering with Coffee-Growing Communities


Our Coffee Supply Chain

In our coffee supply chain, our goal is simple: to help the people in coffee-producing communities lead healthier and more prosperous lives.

Our outreach takes two forms:

  • First, we provide on-the-ground assistance by helping our suppliers improve their ability to deliver high-quality specialty coffee to the marketplace, whether through advice on cultivation techniques, training on cupping skills, or connecting them with industry resources to help them strengthen and grow their business.
  • Second, we provide financial grants to nonprofits that have both the technical skills and the on-the-ground connections to help coffee-growing communities chart their own course towards a more sustainable future.


Farmers from APROVAT Coffee Cooperative in Peru participate in quality of life research.
