Get Involved | The Chain Collaborative

Our Goals

We strive to work on projects that are sustainable, community-driven, and that respond to many ignored needs in coffee-growing communities. We also love projects catalyzed by farmers and coffee-growing communities themselves. We strive to be a resource to projects from the ground up, to connect farmers to people in the supply chain and to organizations that can help make their goals a reality.
