Give Today
Farming families in developing regions around the world, especially coffee farming families, face numerous barriers to living happy, healthy, productive lives. By supporting sustainable development initiatives in struggling regions, you can help change that. You can help create clean water initiatives, expand access to education, fund micro-loans for women, sustain gender equality training, and more.
Host a Coffee Event
Numerous dedicated, motivated, passionate cafes and roasters have already stepped up to host their own latte art competitions, barista jams and other events to raise funds and awareness for OTG’s coffee-producing community initiatives. These businesses have all made social justice part of their brand and have invested time and resources in proving to their own community that they stand behind their words. If you’re interested in hosting your own even, please reach out to us at stella@onthegroundglobal.org. We’ve got resources and information to help you get started!
Join an OTG Delegation
We’re always looking for people to become Delegates for future On the Ground Delegations. People willing to help us strengthen ties between the coffee farming communities and developing regions where we have already planted roots and the international specialty coffee industry. We’re searching for like-minded, adventurous individuals with a desire to travel and a willingness to meet new people, all with the same goal: connect, share, and grow! If that sounds like something you’re interested in, or if you’d like to learn more about this new program, please reach out to us at stella@onthegroundglobal.org.
Become a Corporate Sponsor
Many of our projects are made possible thanks to the generosity of our corporate sponsors. These businesses have all made social justice part of their brand and have invested time and resources in proving to their community they stand behind their words. And it’s not just good intentions that are leading our partners to give or dedicate a portion of their sales; it’s also good business. According to a recent Cone Communications Social Impact Study:
54% of Americans bought a product associated with a cause over the last 12 months, increasing 170% since 1993
89% of Americans are likely to switch brands to one associated with a cause, given comparable price and quality, jumping nearly 35% since 1993
91% wants even more of the products and services they use to support causes
