We have a decades-long relationship with Grounds for Health, an international non-profit focused on reducing cervical cancer among women in coffee-growing regions. Through enabling easy, essential cervical cancer screenings for women who live in remote areas, Grounds For Health has a direct, life-changing effect on the health, empowerment, and dignity of women. Since 1996, the program has been successfully established in coffee producing countries around the world Today, they are focusing actively on Ethiopia and Kenya. In total, Grounds for Health has provided screening for more than 100,000 women, with more every year. We’re proud to support this work that directly impacts families in countries we buy coffee from.
The future of the planet and the future of coffee are inextricably linked. Through supporting the work done by World Coffee Research (WCR), we hope to ensure a bright, sustainable future for the next generation of coffee. Current projects underway by WCR are working to address the effects of climate change, coffee leaf rust and pests, low yield issues, and other factors that impact the survival of this important—and potentially endangered—crop. The organization is also on the vanguard of genetics research in coffee, setting quality standards, and supporting farmers in their efforts to thrive financially as well as agriculturally. Along with corporate contributions, we’re also a part of their Checkoff Program, which enables roasters with whom we work to donate a set amount directly to WCR per every pound of green coffee purchased through us.
In 2024, we began a partnership with the Pacific Salmon Foundation, whose efforts towards conservation and restoration of local salmon promote a healthier ecosystem for all. Water is a central element in our process—and we're immediate neighbours of BC's Fraser river—the largest salmon bearing watershed in the territory.
Our giving supports projects led by First Nations groups, who've known this land the longest, as part of PSF’s Community Salmon Programs. Projects range from habitat restoration to hatchery upgrades to education and beyond. We're inspired by this work and eager to help make a difference by supporting First-Nations-led projects so close to home. Our staff also participate in local volunteer efforts for cleanup and revitalization of local ecosystems.
