Product Donations
We can make a difference by donating something we have plenty of: coffee. Our Product Donations Program offers coffee to brew, giveaway coffee packages, raffle items, and auction gift boxes. Each of these items can be requested through our Product Donations Request Form (Step 2 below). Before filling out the request form, please take a moment to review the Donations Guidelines.
Recent Donations:
In 2008, we donated over 45,000 pounds of our coffee and related products, as well as office equipment and services, to over 1,800 nonprofit organizations. The total value of our in-kind donations was over $269,000 — approximately 1.5% of pre-tax profit.
Here are some of the highlights:
Vermont Food Bank | www.vermontfoodbank.org 
We donated $52,616 worth of product to the Vermont Foodbank. The VT Foodbank has been serving Vermonters since 1986. Each year, they reach over 60,000 Vermonters and distribute over 6 million pounds of food to needy
individuals and families.
Fisher House | www.fisherhouse.org
We donated coffee to 20 Fisher Houses around the country. The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need that the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs do not normally address. Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates “comfort homes,” built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time — during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
Reverb (Ships & Dip) | www.reverbrock.org
Reverb is a nonprofit, “green” music tour promoter. Reverb educates and engages musicians and their fans on environmental sustainability by setting up “eco-villages” and providing “greening” services on music tours. Reverb is the tour promoter for Ships & Dip III, where they will serve Green Mountain Coffee® exclusively.
Global Exchange 20th Anniversary Gala I www.globalexchange.org
We donated coffee to support the 20th anniversary of Global Exchange. Global Exchange is an activist human rights organization dedicated to promoting social, economic, and environmental justice around the world. Since its
founding in 1988, Global Exchange has successfully increased public awareness of root causes of injustice while building international partnerships and mobilizing for change.
