Small Costa Rican farmers during the coffee harvest season.  Depressed global prices for coffee are pressuring many small farmers to lose their farms to larger corporate concerns.The EcoTeach Foundation is proud to introduce our Coffee for a Cause Fundraising Program — a program proven to be profitable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible. It can be used to raise money for any group or organization goal and simultaneously helps us, the EcoTeach Foundation, keep up our important conservation work in Costa Rica.

Who Wins?
Everyone wins — Your school or group, the coffee farmers, your purchasers, the environment and the EcoTeach Foundation.

You Win
Raise funds for your school, organization, your trip to Costa Rica, your projects, or for EcoTeach. You sell the coffee for $10 per bag and $5.00 of every bag sold comes back to you!

The Farmers Win
Our buying this coffee guarantees a market and living wages for the coop members. It helps ensure they can stay on their land and improve their way of life.

Your Purchasers Win
They get high quality, pure Arabica coffee from Costa Rica for a great price—over a pound of gourmet coffee for just $10.

The Environment Wins
The farmers use recognized environmental practices from planting through processing. Our shade grown coffee reduces soil erosion in the rain forest and maintains biologically diverse habitat for plants, birds, & other wildlife.

EcoTeach Wins
EcoTeach Foundation gets one dollar from every bag sold to help with projects such as leatherback turtle protection, reforestation and educational enhancements in Costa Rica.


Many of our American songbirds migrate to & from Costa Rica.  Loss of traditional shade-grown coffee (lost to higher-yeilding sun-grown varieties) are devasting the North American songbird populations.What To Do Next...
