These coffee companies support important causes with every bag of coffee you buy.

Coffee for a cause, with love

Coffee people are good people!

Over the years, while reviewing dozens of different coffees from some amazing roasters, we’ve also been encouraged by how many coffee companies support a worthy cause.

This page is devoted to those companies. We love the fact that they voluntarily donate a portion of their profits. They don’t have to, but they do.

As you’ll see, the range of causes being supported is broad… from dog rescue to reforestation, and plenty in between.

Over the months to come we’ll be reaching out to find other cause-related coffee roasters we can support.

In the meantime, take a look at the amazing companies, coffees, and projects we’ve already reviewed.
