Did you know all of our coffee donations are Fair Trade Certified™ organic coffee? In 2006 we made a commitment to donate only Fair Trade Certified™ organic coffee through our product donations program.
In the past three years Green Mountain Coffee has donated close to 120,000 lbs of coffee to non-profit partners in communities where we work, live, and conduct business.

We realized that we have a unique opportunity to raise awareness about the Fair Trade model in domestic communities by donating fair trade coffee through our product donations program. The organizations we work with use our coffee donations for fundraisers, events, or for operational support. In this way they help us tell the Fair Trade story and more people have the opportunity to taste the difference of Fair Trade organic coffee.
