Founded in 2010, the initiative for coffee&climate (C&C) is an expansive project working on many different projects in order to combat climate change. C&C’s core functions are to train coffee producers, to trial and test climate adaption and mitigation practices and build communities locally and globally around the issue of climate change and coffee. Funded in large part by large scale roasters, both specialty and commodity, C&C was initiated by, among others, Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung. One example of the work that C&C is doing is that in Brazil they have trained over 12,000 farmers in climate change adaptation and mitigation practices (including, implementing windbreaks, rainwater harvesting, shade management and permanent preservation areas). One of the most interesting parts of the organizations work is it’s online toolbox (http://toolbox.coffeeandclimate.org/), which is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Vietnamese. Within this toolbox are many different case studies that might help inform producers or agronomists in best practices. As part of the HRNS network, coffee&climate is based in Hamburg, Germany.

Fairtrade
Donation Link: https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/get-involved/Donate/
The mission of Fairtrade is to connect disadvantaged producers and consumers, promote fairer trading conditions and empower producers to combat poverty, strengthen their position and take more control over their lives. Fairtrade was started in response to the dire struggles of Mexican coffee farmers following the collapse of world coffee prices in the late 1980s. With Fairtrade, certified coffee producer organisations are guaranteed to receive at least the Fairtrade Minimum Price for their coffee, which aims to cover their costs of production and act as a safety net when market prices fall below a sustainable level. Through their producer organisations, farmers also receive the additional Fairtrade Premium to invest in business or community improvements. At Fairtrade we care about improving quality, and Fairtrade coffee farmers must use at least 25 per cent of the Fairtrade Premium to enhance productivity and quality, for example by investing in processing facilities. There are 537 Fairtrade certified coffee producer organisations working with around 800,000 smallholder farmers. In 2013-14, coffee farmers received €49 million (around $63 million USD) in Fairtrade Premium funds. In 2017, coffee farmers received €74 million (around $83 million USD) in Premiums. Fairtrade has a number of companies around the World, but Fairtrade International is based in Bonn, Germany. This charity operates on a budget of over $10mil per annum.

Food 4 Farmers works to tackle hunger within coffee growing communities. Focused largely on co-operative and community organized farming groups, providing customized strategies to increase food production and food security. Food 4 Farmers highlights the reality of ‘seasonal hunger’ which occurs due to the irregularity of payments on coffees being delivered. Paradoxically, this charity sees how a focus on coffee and specialty coffee production has driven farmers to stop growing foodstuffs on their own land and the risks this exposes farmers to. According to a survey referenced by the charity around two-thirds of coffee producers go hungry for three months every year. Food 4 Farmer currently partners with over 3,000 coffee farming families across four Latin American countries. Food security is often achieved by diversifying crops grown on farms and distributing bees, beekeeping equipment and training. Food 4 Farmers is is based in Hinesburg, Vermont, United States.

Gender
Donation Link: https://www.genderincoffee.org/gender-equity-index
Gender in Coffee is working to promote gender equality especially in producing countries. On smallholder farms producing 80% of the world’s coffee, men and women often have specific roles on the family farm. Women typically do the majority of the work that directly impacts quality and yields while men control transporting and selling. Despite the importance of plant care, harvesting, processing and sorting to a better, more quality-centered coffee-growing business, women are often excluded from decision-making processes. Promoting gender equity within the coffee sector improves the viability of smallholder coffee farming as a family business and prepares more women as well as men to better meet industry demands. Increasing women’s participation in parity to men's participation in supply chains can also lead to significant improvements in crop productivity and quality, as well as global food security and poverty reduction.

Founded in 2015 by Tim Williams, the Gitesi Project has a simple goal: to use its funds to purchase cows as a secondary source of food and income for farmers in the Gitesi community. Since 2015-16, 54 cows have been donated using funding raised by Gitesi Project. Some of the cows have had calves and when this happens, the calves are donated to a family. In addition to the cows donated, the Project has funded health insurance for over 100 families, paid for cow sheds to be built for the cows and a small amount of money has been spent purchasing spray pumps for farmers to manage vegetation. Leah McPherson the COO of Bureaux Collective says: ""We're helping to bring about some economic-cushioning for coffee growing households. Whether the coffee crop is good or bad, the cows will produce milk that can nourish children or be sold at local markets.""

Root Capital
Root Capital (RC) was founded in 1999 and now works in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Root Capital focuses on providing loans and financing to businesses that often large banks will not. The work that RC has done has impacted some 1.3 million farmers around the World, including but not only coffee farmers. By providing financing to co-operatives and other agricultural enterprises, they are able to relieve financial pressure on these organizations during the harvest period. Often farmers want to sell to co-operatives, but the groups do not necessarily have the liquid currency to purchase all the coffee that is offered to them and as such certain farmers are left out of co-operative systems. Root Capital believe that through these agricultural enterprises, small holder farmers are receiving high incomes and more support, as such Root Capital attempts to support such agricultural enterprises. Enterprises that borrow from RC grow at a rate of 20-25% over multiple years. An example of their work in coffee, is with Ketiara cooperative in Indonesia. In 2014 RC provided a loan of $550,000 in order for Ketiara to pay farmers between harvesting their coffee and selling it on the global market. Through RC’s support Ketiara has been able to grow substantially and now even offers coffee produced exclusively by women, helping to raise their profile and provide a higher income for women coffee farmers. Over half of all loans provided by RC are to coffee businesses. Root Capital has offices around the World including in Cambridge, Massuchussetts, United States of America and operates on an annual budget of over $10 million.

In addition, WCR undertakes research on how and where climate change will effect coffee producers and has even begun promoting the dissemination of new, more robust and disease resistant strains of coffee. WCR works globally and collaborates with other research institutes. One important contribution that the organization has already made is the availability of the more codified information on coffee varieties to help inform farmers in making decisions on which plants to use. As an example of the field work that WCR undertakes, in the Democratic Republic of Congo they helped assess the best varieties for producers contributing to Kahawa Bora Ya Kivu, while also supporting farmers with technical assistance in the set up of three washing stations and a cupping lab. According to their 2018 Annual Report, WCR for every dollar contributed by donors in the coffee industry, WCR conducts $1.53 worth of research. World Coffee Research operates on a budget of over $1 million per annum.
