Ways of Giving
Annual Memberships – Donate Now
The minimum donation for a business membership is $300 per year, but many choose to support our efforts at higher levels. You can make your donation in a lump sum or pay with our monthly or quarterly options. Members can also use our Automatic Monthly Program, which automatically charges a fixed amount to their credit card each month.
All Business Members receive a subscription to La Voz (Coffee Kids quarterly newsletter), a membership certificate, a Coffee Kids mug (for US members), a window decal, a link to your Web site on the Coffee Kids Web site, and the opportunity to promote your fundraisers for Coffee Kids on our Web site.
We’re also happy to help you educate your employees about the social and economic issues faced in coffee growing communities. Please contact us at for ideas, materials and resources.
Commercial Agreements
Coffee Kids also offers an opportunity for businesses to donate a percentage of their net sales or the sales of a particular product to Coffee Kids. In exchange, you receive limited rights to use the Coffee Kids logo and tag line on your product to let your customers know you are supporting grassroots development in coffee-farming communities.
A regular business membership ($300 donation) is required in order to begin a Commercial Agreement. For more information, contact our membership administrator at .
Corporate Grants
We welcome corporate contributions (usually over $5,000) made in response to a Coffee Kids proposal/request. It is sometimes possible to designate funds to a particular program. Our program proposals are released on a yearly basis in October. Please contact our membership administrator at .

Businesses can set up an employee payroll deduction plan (with an employer matching option), in which employees can choose to donate a set amount from each paycheck to Coffee Kids.
